I place on the altar of dawn:
The quiet loyalty of breath,
The tent of thought where I shelter,
Waves of desire I am shore to
And all beauty drawn to the eye.
~John O’Donohue
May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.
May I have the courage today
To live the life I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.
~John O’Donohue
He (God) performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. ~Job 5:9 ✝


Indeed Natalie. May our minds come alive to the hidden beauty of the world.

Lovely Natalie. Worry and fear are such a waste of time. It’s too bad it’s so hard to conquer them. At least it seems that way sometimes.
Hugs ❤

Yes it is too bad, and Scripture tells us over and over again not to worry or fear! Hard lessons to learn they are! Hugs, N 🙂 ❤

Very hard lessons. And the problem is that we seem to have to learn them over and over again. We’re such silly little doubting creatures eh.
Hugs.

Yes, they are, Staci. And you are so right, we are such silly little doubting creatures especially when we can look back and see where He did not leave or forsake us in our places of need. Hugs, N 🙂 ❤
