Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

finding a place to just be…

inquiry for today~ how to know is how to be…

good timing…

Today it feels so simple:

we are here to take care of each other.

How could we ever forget?

As if soil could forget

it is here to feed the trees.

As if trees could forget

they are here to feed the soil.

How could anything

ever get in the way of generosity?

How could we ever greet each other

with any words besides,

How can I help you?

As if light could forget

it is here to help illuminate.

As if dark could forget

it is here to help us heal.
