In this season of best wishes and new resolutions,
what is really important?
Carl Sandburg put it succintly for me ...
"I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes,
so live not in your yesterdays,
not just for tomorrow,
but in the here and now.
Keep moving and forget the post mortems,
and remember,
no one can get the jump on the future."
We are invited to be fully, consciously attentive
to this present moment,
to whomever we are with,
to the actions we are executing,
to the emotions we are experiencing,
to the words we are expressing.
And from this attentiveness,
the phoenix will arise,
and grace will suffuse our lives.
May your day be redolent with grace and blessing.
