We pause in thanks today for all of the life that has made it possible for us to live. For the earth and the sun and the plants and the streams, for the ancestors in all of their imperfection.
What are you grateful for today?
Stories
Sometimes, the stories we tell are just pieces of the truth. Sometimes, those stories get in the way of imagining something different, something better. Sometimes, we need to write new stories. Sometimes, we need to listen to the stories that others have been telling all along.
How do you change the stories you tell to make new things possible?
Impossible
We sometimes label things “impossible” when in reality they are just very difficult. Bumblebees flying, computers, the four-minute mile, space exploration–the list of the possible impossible is endless.
Have you ever witnessed something labeled “impossible” become reality?
Adventure
“A freedom that reveres the past but trusts the dawning future more, and bids the soul, in search of truth, adventure boldly and explore.”
-Marion Franklin Ham, “As Tranquil Streams”
Where will your next adventures of the soul take you? What do you hope to explore?
Wonder
“A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.”
-Rachel Carson, “Sense of Wonder”
How do you feed and rekindle your sense of wonder?
