slow summer unfurling

How many memories live, 
Wrapped inside grief?
How many faces of feelings
Does grief wear?

Grief is.

We have all lost so much

Individually and collectively.

And yet,

To hold it

Hand in hand

With mature hope,

To imagine in the loss

Doorways open to possibilities,

To new moments,

To new and more authentic

Expressions of life.

Not to bypass the feelings.

But

To give us

The courage

And 

The willingness

To practice

Being

With

What 

Is.

~Aruni Futuronsky

I can’t stop trying….

inquiry for today~ this little tender awareness may be all that you need to today…..

this beautiful knowing

Now is the time to know

that all you do is sacred.

Now is the time for to deeply

compute the impossibility

that there is anything but grace.

~Hafiz
