Quote of the Day

Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.

~ Alan Watts in THE WISDOM OF INSECURITY

Quietly, help me to clear.
Hold me in your wings
that I may trust.
In darkness, surrender.
My own way tortured.

Better, a listening prayer.

~ from ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN poems by Gretchen Shartle
