A Soft Hush

If you look carefully, there are endless moments
of peace offerings throughout our day. Most are
spoken through hushed, almost inaudible song.
Spilled out with soft whispers and full hearts.

I caught a glimpse of this today while sitting in Church.

An elderly couple sitting with their daughter and grandson
shared a simple, yet stirringly beautiful moment. As the ritual
of peace was offered, the daughter leaned over and gently kissed
her Dad’s cheek and whispered, “peace to you Daddy,” and
extended the same sentiment to her Mom.

It happened so quickly I almost missed it. The pureness
of the moment touched me so deeply it drew tears.

I’m not sure why this resonated the way it did, but
ever thankful for the reminder of peaceful, authentic love and
for seeing it play out in this crazy world.

Something to think about

I ran across a few quotes recently while reading Whole Living Magazine. They were not signed, so I don’t know who to give credit to. I hope you can relate to them as much as I have. Figured I would share with everyone.

“Sometimes the loneliest moments are the ones that show you just how strong you are.”

“Rather than battle your emotions, make them your allies. They hold the secret to what drives you–and what scares you.”

“Happiness is a fickle houseguest; she shows up at surprising times, and when she leaves, you know she’ll be back.”

“Treat an apology like a gift. Accept it without peaking at the price tag.”

“You achieve balance not by pushing your body, but by following it’s lead.”

And finally, a new favorite . . . . .

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain. “
