Light enough

“Mostly we have just enough light to see the next step: what we have to do in the coming hour or the following day. The art of living is to enjoy what we can see and not complain about what remains in the dark. When we are able to take the next step with the trust that we will have enough light for the step that follows, we can walk through life with joy and be surprised at how far we go. Let’s rejoice in the little light we carry and not ask for the great beam that would take all shadows away.” Henri Nouwen

Do you trust the light you have?

Gratefulness

“The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.” Michael Josephson

What do you enjoy?

Sunrise

…”how the emptiness
will bear forth
a new world
that you cannot fathom
but on whose edge
you stand.” Jan Richardson

What do you see when you peer over the edge?

Dawn

As the sun rises at dawn, we awaken to the new day. The emerging light fills us with gratitude for another day that brings new beginnings and possibilities.
