Day 3,442

Growth:

And don’t look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.

Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Appreciation:

Through the chaos and fire lay growth and opportunity. When I’ve had the benefit of hindsight it becomes so clear to see how the challenges made me better, helped me close the gap between who I am and who I am called to be. In the midst of the flames and smoke it is so easy to become disoriented and lost. Have faith, trust in love for all, and remember the opportunity for growth is what we get when we don’t get what we want.

Presence:

The quiet calm of reading on the couch was such a juxtaposition to the entirety of my week. Calm and still, listening to the wind chimes through our closed windows rather than a flurry of activity with so many voices. Both sides worthwhile for their own reasons, though this evening it was truly exquisite.

Thanks!!!
