You might dress up for church, or for work, or for a date or a concert or a party. Or you might dress up so that you could match the beauty of what you see around you, or as preparation for the road ahead.
What sort of outfit best suits what you see before you?
“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints; possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
―Søren Kierkegaard
What possibilities that you see before you charm and enchant you?
Love should grow up like a wild iris in the fields,
unexpected, after a terrible storm, opening a purple
mouth to the rain, with not a thought to the future,
ignorant of the grass and the graveyard of leaves
around, forgetting its own beginning….
Love should
grow up like a wild iris, but doesn’t, it comes from
the midst of everything else, sees like the iris
of an eye, when the light is right,
feels in blindness and when there is nothing else is
tender, blinks, and opens
face up to the skies.
–Susan Griffin
In your experience, how does love grow?
It could be a dead leaf, clinging on when all the others are gone, but it isn’t. It’s a butterfly, minus a little bit of time.
What in your life looks like an old remnant, but is really the promise of things to come?
Some people spend their lives dreaming of graceful yachts and a life of luxury floating on the waves. Captain Ken has work to do, and the boat to do it with. No frills. Just what the job needs.
What gives you satisfaction in work well done?
