Not there
Too often we are not present to the beauty, love and grace
that brims within the ordinary moments of our lives.
Beauty is there, but we aren’t
Ron Rolheiser
Do not look forward
Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow;
The same God who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and every day.
Either God will shield you from suffering or God will give you strength to bear it
Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and sufferings
St Francis de Sales
Sunday Quote: Sticking to the path
There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving.
But, who wants easier?

Home
The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for.
And the most you can do is live inside that hope.
Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.

Where we belong
Our bodies know they belong;
it is our minds that make our lives so homeless.
