How often do we forget about the simple things and we take them for granted, until they become background noise?
Everything can change in an instant. Gratitude keeps us awake to what matters…

Grief, for all its heaviness, returns us to the pulse of life. In the aching, we remember what mattered. In the longing, we rediscover how deeply we’re capable of loving.

I've started to read fiction again, after a hiatus of several years. It hasn't taken me long to conclude that at my age, life is just too short for badly-written, ineptly edited police procedurals. In my earlier days, I rarely gave up on a book I'd started, but I've abandoned 3 in the last 2 days!

Tell yourself
as it gets cold and gray falls from the air that you will go on walking, hearing
the same tune no matter where you find yourself—
inside the dome of dark or under the cracking white
of the moon's gaze in a valley of snow.

The quieter stratum of Self,
dissolving the tension between “inner” and “outer.”
What unfolds within a spacious presence.
