“Light, landscape and sky.
There is no language of the holy.
The sacred lies in the ordinary.”

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.

we have within our hearts
the capacity to
hold all of this.
the tears, the laughter
the noise, the silence
the gain, the loss
the stillness
the love.
we also have within our minds
the wisdom to
let it all go.
and here we are
on this journey together
learning to dance between the two.
this life!
this life!
