How in that moment he realized that she would not always be little and likely she would not always be his. Instead of letting this grieve him, he was at the same time struck with the realization that nothing could ever take away the fact that RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW EXISTS. And not dread of the future nor the bustle of the present nor regrets from the past could take that away. <br /><br /><br />That singular piece of his work taught me this. Well, INTRODUCED me to it, I should say. I try to see this in my everyday, Tams ... but as you know, I need reminded regularly.

Not what was or what will be, but what is - right here. Right now. Happening right under our noses - and to notice the beauty in the mess, the life in the chaos, the song in the noise, and the joy set before us. This is a call to live - fully alive, fully human. To feel, breathe in deep, and just take in the moments. I'm inspired, sister! I love you!Paula Gamblenoreply@blogger.com
