what a timely quote for the 23rd of December! I’m sitting still, centering myself, and trying to fill my whole being with peace (and quiet)…fortification for the infectious excitement of C’mas Eve with my grandchildren tomorrow. getting caught up in their frenetic anticipation will be a tonic I can’t resist!
Ah Christmas really is magical seen through the eyes of children Karen, I hope you are surrounded with love this Christmas by family and friends – I know it will not be easy this first Christmas without Hugh, Thinking of you xxxx
". . .and the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and JOYFUL, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home."
Wendell Berry
I like this idea of stillness in the storm. Though in all honesty, today I just want to jump around and say “YAY Christmas!!!” 🙂 ~Catherine
