Look up

We have so many allies in this world,

including just the colour blue in the sky. 

David Whyte

Sunday Quote: at rest

To be happy at home

is the ultimate result of all ambition

Dr Samuel Johnson

A strange fact

It never ceases to amaze me:

we all love ourselves more than other people,

but care more about their opinion than our own

Marcus Aurelius

Sunday Quote: transformation

The future enters into us,

in order to transform itself in us,

long before it happens.

Rilke

Blessed

Even with all our technological accomplishments and urban sophistication, we consider ourselves blessed, healed in some manner, forgiven, and for a moment transported into some other world, when we catch a passing glimpse of an animal in the wild: a deer in some woodland, a fox crossing a field, a butterfly in its dancing flight southward to its wintering region, a hawk soaring in the distant sky.

Thomas Berry : Sunbeams, January 2021

Sunday Quote: live by love

Trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward
)
