The future is an infinite succession of presents,
and to live now as we think human beings should live,
in defiance of all that is bad around us,
is itself a marvelous victory.

Each moment is a chance
Each moment is a chance
for us to make peace
with the world,
to make peace
possible for the world,
to make happiness
possible for the world.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
No winter lasts forever
No winter lasts forever;
no spring skips its turn.
~Hal Borland, (1900 – 1978)
move in peace
Being still does not mean don’t move.
It means move in peace.
~E’yen A. Gardner
listen
I think I will do nothing for a long time but
listen,
And accrue what I hear into myself…. and let
sound contribute toward me.
~Walt Whitman, (1819 – 1892)
Listen
There is a voice
that doesn’t use words.
Listen.
~Rumi
The first step
The first step of peace
is to stand still in the light.
~George Fox (1624 – 1691)
melodious thoughts
Why are there trees I never walk under,
but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?
~Walt Whitman, (1819 – 1892)
lie down by a slow river
The dream of my life
Is to lie down by a slow river
And stare at the light in the trees-
To learn something by being nothing
A little while but the rich
Lens of attention.
~Mary Oliver
all we were born to do
There are hearts to be found in quiet places… Here are a few I’ve photographed recently.
A lilac heart.
A sweet woodruff heart.
Bleeding hearts.
A yarrow heart.
I think passing love around
Is all we were born to do.
~Michael McDonald
May your day be touched by love.
