Older now, you find holiness
in anything that continues.
~Naomi Shihab Nye
Everything changes as we age ... personally, socially, and worldly. Our perception, forgiveness, and compassion are no longer on a sliding scale, as with an open heart much more can be embraced and understood.
"The longer I wake on this Earth, the louder the quiet things speak to me. The more I experience and survive, the more I find truth in the commonalties we all share. The more pain softens me, the deeper my joy and the greater the lessons of those things that live in great stillness." (Mark Nepo, THE BOOK OF AWAKENING)
Life seems to slow down offering pauses where we can see clearly what was once a blur. In the pockets of stillness, life speaks lifting a veil so we can once again see the magic of the world. Our childhood wonder and innocence returns bringing laughter and joy to our lips. If we drink of this nectar of life,
we may still be alone, but never lonely.
