May I become an island for those seeking dry land A lamp for those needing light, A place of rest for those who desire one, And a servant for those needing service.
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful, praising God until we ourselves are a constant act of praise.
– Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, Radical Grace: Daily Meditations
Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.
– Yoko Ono
It is no longer the time of the crocus, but we remember its welcome appearance.
Some people go through life trying to find out what the world holds for them only to find out too late that it’s what they bring to the world that really counts.
