People who have faith in life are like swimmers who entrust themselves to a rushing river. They neither abandon themselves to its current nor try to resist it. Rather, they adjust their every movement to the watercourse, use it with purpose and skill, and enjoy the adventure.

Eyes see only light, ears hear only sound, but a listening heart perceives meaning.

Any place is sacred ground, for it can become a place of encounter with the divine Presence.

A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace.

Each string of a wind harp responds with a different note to the same breeze. What activity makes you personally resonate most strongly, most deeply?

If you learn to respond as if it’s the first day in your life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well.

Only gratefulness, in the form of limitless openness for surprise, lays hold of the fullness of life in hope.
