Breathe Together, by Jeff Foster

It’s easy to teach, to preach, to give memorized answers. It’s easy to be an expert. It’s harder to listen, to really listen. To be still and wait. To give someone space. To receive them with your whole being. When you think you know what’s “best” for someone, when you’re excited by your own vision, […]

The beauty of this day, by Carla Martins

The Peace of Wild Things, by Wendell Berry

When despair grows in meand I wake in the night at the least soundin fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drakerests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feed.I come into the peace of wild thingswho do not tax their […]

Moments, by Nadine Stair

If I could live again my life.Next time, I would tryto make more mistakes.I would not try to be so perfect.I would relax more.I would be more full than I am now.In fact, I would take fewer things seriously.I would be less hygienic.I would take more risks.I would travel more.I would watch more sunsets.I would […]

Simple things, by Paulo Coelho

The more it loves without fear, the more capable it is of demonstrating elegance in every small gesture. Elegance is not a matter […]

There is a time for everything

To everything There is a season And a time to every purpose, under heaven. A time to be born, a time to die.A time to plant, a time to reap.A time to kill, a time to heal.A time to laugh, a time to weep. A time to build up, a time to break down.A time to dance, […]

I am not I, by Juan Ramón Jimenez

I am not I. I am this one walking beside me whom I do not see, whom at times I manage to visit, and whom at other times I forget; the one who remains silent while I talk, the one who forgives, sweet, when I hate, the one who takes a walk when I am […]
