We have circled and circled till we have arrived home again, we two,
We have voided all but freedom and all but our own joy.

Time
Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.

Transition
Each transition brings with it a feeling of unfamiliarity and a moment of disorientation. … Today I encourage you simply to sit through whatever period of transition you are going through. Stay there a moment. Notice what is going on for you, acknowledge the disorientation and bring all your attention to the present.

Seeing
Wherever you go, what matters less is what you are looking at, but how you have committed to see.

Don't hurry
