Satisfaction comes not
from chasing bigger
and bigger things, but
paying attention to
smaller and smaller things.
Arthur C. Brooks
You Friends Are
My Handful of Light
In the challenge
of this season,
You are the handful
Of grace.
Not fixing
What cannot be fixed,
But being steady, true,
And near.
You show up
You listen,
Faithful
When I feel unsure.
You catch me
Without question.
In this time
When everything shifts.
You are the ground
beneath my feet.
Simple kindness.
Presence constantly felt.
This is everything.
I see you.
I thank you.
I know my luck.
You know who you are.

Your first 10,000 photographs
are your worst.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
There are no bad pictures;
that's just how your
face looks sometimes.
Abraham Lincoln
Success is not only
measured by
what you accomplish,
its measured by your
attitude while doing it.

Stop worrying.
Life already knows
what it's doing.
Smaller and smaller things come into focus when you've fallen and face planted in the dirt.
ReplyDeletePixie agrees with Abraham Lincoln. Love the quotes and pics today. Your poem is amazing.

ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at the Abraham Lincoln quote.
ReplyDeleteGoing by my photos, apparently, Henri Cartier-Bresson, is correct.
