No matter what,

hang on to the part of you

that gasps at a beautiful sunset,

or gets super excited about a new notebook,

or a freshly baked cupcake,

or a dog you just met on the street.

Allow yourself to be

regularly startled

and humbled

by joy.

~Nanae

I listen to the wind and rest…

inquiry for today~ how will you brighten from the inside out?

finding peace, real peace…

In the moments we are awake to the wonder of simply being alive,

gratitude flows, no matter our circumstances.
