For every new way of being, there is a failed attempt mulching beneath the tongue. For every sprig that breaks surface, there is an old stick stirring underground. For every moment of joy sprouting, there is a new moment of struggle taking root.

-Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening

  1. With Gratitude for this wisdom from “The Book of Awakening”…as natural as breathing in and breathing out, a rhythmic heartbeat and steady pulse; yet a reminder of the constant state of flux we find ourselves in, all the while seeking to expand and contract with like vibrations…in Trust and Love–a rhythm align with our Creator.
