Sometimes you happen on the magical sight of a rainbow in the sky, but some days you make your own rainbows, stopping to rest in whatever beauty is present.
Where do you find beauty and magic today?
More Mountains
Somehow, when we have overcome an obstacle or worked through a difficult problem, it feels as if we should arrive at the “land of milk and honey,” a place of rest and ease. But there will always be other obstacles, other mountains to climb, other problems that press forward.
How do you find ways to rest and renew yourself, even in the midst of the journey?
Different Rivers
Is this a picture of stillness and peace, or a picture of headlong motion? What does a fisherman see looking at this river? A kayaker? A fish? You’ve probably heard the saying that you can’t step twice in the same river. But really, no two of us sees the same river, even at precisely the same moment.
How might you see things from another’s perspective today?
Knotted Bark
The traumas of a tree’s life are visible on the surface, as knots form and bark curls around to protect and restore the damaged places.
How might you treat those around you differently if you could read their life stories in their skin?
Be Ye Lamps
“Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to Truth as a lamp; hold fast to the truth as a refuge. Look not for a refuge in anyone beside yourselves. And those, who shall be a lamp unto themselves, shall betake themselves to no external refuge, but holding fast to the Truth as their lamp, and holding fast to the Truth as their refuge, they shall reach the topmost height.” – Gautama Buddha
How will you find refuge in yourself today?
