It’s not too late for joy
The dust of the afternoon has room to spare
And then some
The shallows of a human heart
Make for easy wading
It feels good on the feet
Open the door
Take to the cracks of the broken pavement
It's not too late to break free
Everything that makes a life golden
Is already in your possession
It’s not too late to find your own true north
It’s not too late for joy
Start right now
To give yourself up without regret is the greatest charity.
-Bodhidharma
The rains ends and even the sidewalks are clean
The sun escapes
And is a golden crown on the sky
An earthworm crosses the walkway to my house
There is nothing between him and the sun
Just 91 million miles of room
-James Lee Jobe
It is hard to be generous, disciplined, or patient if we are not fully present. If we are present and attentive, and our mind is flexible, we are more receptive to the environment around us.
-Judy Lief, “On the Contagious Power of Presence”
