In a nutshell!

* Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue! * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.. * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague... Sign in to see full entry.

A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'..... she fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass of water?", she... Sign in to see full entry.

July...

July was once the fifth month, and thus called Quintilis. When the new calendar changed it to the seventh month, it was renamed in honor of Julius Caesar. In Old English, July had two names: “Maed-monath” and “Heg-monath.” “Maed-monath” means “meadow month,” when farmers turned out the cattle to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Morning Offering By John O'Donohue

I bless the night that nourished my heart To set the ghosts of longing free Into the flow and figure of dream That went to harvest from the dark Bread for the hunger no one sees. All that is eternal in me Welcome the wonder of this day, The field of brightness it creates Offering time for each thing... Sign in to see full entry.

Song of the Builders

On a summer morning I sat down on a hillside to think about God - a worthy pastime. Near me, I saw a single cricket; it was moving the grains of the hillside this way and that way. How great was its energy, how humble its effort. Let us hope it will always be like this, each of us going on in our... Sign in to see full entry.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still,... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's slow down...

Sonnets to Orpheus, Part One, XXII We set the pace. But this press of time -- take it as a little thing next to what endures. All this hurrying soon will be over. Only when we tarry do we touch the holy. Young ones, don't waste your courage racing so fast, flying so high. See how all things are at... Sign in to see full entry.

Lovely verses...

I feel God travel with me, when the sun sets and on the sea, together we walk as it grows dark. We are all together but walk like orphans. But I feel God and he gives color to my life. He is kind and sad, like those who attend the sick and dying; He whispers like a lover in distress. His heart must... Sign in to see full entry.

End of the day...

Vespers As light departs to let the earth be one with night, Silence deepens in the mind, and thoughts grow slow; The basket of twilight brims over with colors Gathered from within the sacred meadows of the day And offered like blessings to the gathering Tenebrae. After the day's frenzy, may the... Sign in to see full entry.
