You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come, to take you back.Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.Be excessively gentle with yourself.
~John O’Donohue
and it’s ok to scream for the angels….
inquiry for today~ and this is how we open to this too……
How do we ride the waves of pleasure and pain
without being tossed around by our inbuilt
reactive nature? Over time, through cultivating
mindfulness practice, we can learn to access
a more steady presence in the midst of
such turbulence.
~Mark Coleman
