RENAISSANCE OF MOMENTS

The most significant experience you can have in this life—short of having a personal, direction changing encounter with your own version of God—is to experience love and trust of another person. The most significant gift you can give with your life is to save another life, especially of a child.

Beyond this: to plant a tree, tend a garden, write poetry with the vigor and grace of walking, sing in the evening before a setting sun, sit like white flower before a red candle flame or underneath white lily moonlight, awaken to pray at dawn and into the night shape prayers before dreams…put wood in the fireplace and water in the kettle.

Life is really that full and simple. And if you do all of this (or any similar set of doing), you will love your life as blessed belonging and live complete—your renaissance of moments.

Seasons will come and go and you, in peace of mind, know at one time your footprints are of sunlight, at another time… in falling snow.
