MOMENTS OF LIFE

Life is made up of moments; small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.  It would be wonderful if they came to unsummoned, but in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead, that won’t happen.  We have to teach ourselves how to make room for them, to love them, and to live, really live. 

Quote by Anna Quindlen

REFLECTION:

  • Have you made room for life’s small moments of glittering mica?
  • How can you make more room for more moments?

EVERYTHING…

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.  Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Quote by Marcus Aurelius – Philosopher (120 AD – 180 AD)

REFLECTION:

  • Are you wedded to your opinion?  Your perspective?
  • Can you step back and have another look/listen?
  • What changes?
