settling into softness

Do me a favor

and drink more water this year.

And listen to more music.

And watch more sunsets.

And dance under the moon.

Talk to the plants

and make time for doing nothing.

For just sitting and watching

the world go past you.

Because it’s in those moments

you realize you are a part

of something beautiful

~S.C. Laurie

oh how we feel into each other’s softness…

inquiry for today~ be a bit more gentle today….

mesmerized into hope…

There is a beautiful complexity of growth within the human soul. In order to glimpse this, it is helpful to visualize the mind as a tower of windows. Sadly, many people remain trapped at the one window, looking out every day at the same scene in the same way. Real growth is experienced when you draw back from that one window, turn, and walk around the inner tower of the soul and see all the different windows that await your gaze. Through these different windows, you can see new vistas of possibility, presence, and creativity. Complacency, habit, and blindness often prevent you from feeling your life. So much depends on the frame of vision — the window through which you look.

~John O’Donohue
