The mystery is that whoever shows up when we dare to give has exactly what we need hidden in their trouble.
Mark NepoMysteriously, as elusive as it is, this moment--where the eye is what it sees, where the heart is what it feels--this moment shows us that what is real is sacred
Mark NepoWhen we deny what comes through us, it defines us. When we honestly face what comes through us, then who we are grows.
Mark NepoFour hundred year old trees, who draw aliveness from the earth like smoke from the heart of God, we come, not knowing you will hush our little want to be big; we come, not knowing that all the work is so much busyness of mind; all the worry, so much busyness of heart. As the sun warms anything near, being warms everything still and the great still things that outlast us make us crack like leaves of laurel releasing a fragrance that has always been.
