Humble places
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
Camille Pissarro, 1830 – 1903, Danish-French Impressionist/ Neo-Impressionist painter
Learn to rest
When you cease to fear your solitude, a new creativity awakens in you. Your forgotten or neglected wealth begins to reveal itself. You come home to yourself and learn to rest within. Thoughts are our inner senses. Infused with silence and solitude, they bring out the mystery of inner landscape.
John O Donohue, Anam Cara
What peace is
Peace is this moment without judgement.
This moment in the heart-space where everything that is, is welcome.
Dorothy Hunt, Peace Is This Moment Without Judgment
The well within
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
Richard Bach
Soft yet strong
A slight antidote to some of the overly sentimental messages popular on this day:
In Irish, when you talk about trust, there’s a beautiful phrase from West Kerry where you say, “mo sheasamh ort lá na choise tinne” — “You are the place where I stand on the day when my feet are sore.” That is soft and kind language, but it is so robust. That is what we can have with each other.
Padraig O’Tuama, On Being Blog
