With a willingness to be changed
By what we hear

For lack of attention
a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day.

No gap
At the moment of going there, just go there.
At the moment of coming here, just come here.
There is no gap

Right in front of us
We cannot become truly good in a better, more marvellous, and yet easier way
than by the simple use of the means offered us by God:
The acceptance of all that comes to us at each moment of our lives.
Jean Pierre de Caussade, French Jesuit priest, 1675 – 1751, author of The Sacrament of the Present Moment
….is to receive
Come forth into the light of things,
Let Nature be your teacher…..
Come forth, and bring with you a heart
That watches and receives.
William Wordsworth, The Tables Turned
Sunday Quote: Our main task….
Our task is to listen to the news
that is always arriving out of silence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
