You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going.
What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage.

Seasons in life
Now all you can do is wait.
It must be hard for you, but there is a right time for everything.
Like the ebb and flow of tides.
No one can do anything to change them.
When it is time to wait, you must wait

You may not control all events that happen to you
but you can decide not to be reduced by them

Why meditation helps
Meditation is the discovery
that the point of life is always arrived at
in the immediate moment.

Sunday Quote: Movement
The deepest words of the wise…teach us…
the same as the whistle of the wind when it blows
or the sound of the water when it is flowing

Holding both efforts
Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning,
that without listening speaking no longer heals,
that without distance closeness cannot cure.
Henri Nouwen
