Do Not Try to Save the Whole World

 

Geranium Bloom
Geranium Bloom by Nancy L

Do not try to save the whole world 
or do anything grandiose.

Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life
and wait there patiently,
until the song that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.


Only then will you know how to give yourself
to this world
so worthy of rescue.

Being Lost

Violets

“There are ways in,  journeys to the center of life,
through time; through air, matter, dream and thought.

The ways are not always mapped or charted, 
but sometimes being lost, if there is such a thing,
is the sweetest place to be…

And always, in this search, a person might find
that she is already there, at the center of the world.

It may be a broken world,
but it is glorious nonetheless.”

~Linda Hogan, The Woman Who Watches Over the World
