Every speck of dust has a marvellous soul, but to understand it, one must recover one’s religious and magical sense of things.

Living your life
It is not about achieving your dreams but living your life.
If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
Asking the dog
Love, love, love, says Percy.
And hurry as fast as you can
along the shining beach, or the rubble, or the dust.
Then, go to sleep.
Give up your body heat, your beating heart.
Then, trust.
Mary Oliver, I Ask Percy How I Should Live My Life

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
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.
