We only live in one space: the present. It is important to let go of the past and the future and live where we are this very moment as fully as we can.

I cannot play the flute, but there is something enchanting and beautiful when we watch the sun rise and bid farewell to the stars. Several years ago, just after dawn I watched several deer grazing on a golf course. It was too early for anyone else to be up and nothing else moved in the softness of the early morning.

Sufi poetry carries with it powerful messages of peace and living with each other as an ethical, humane, and human project. I find poetry is a way to slow down in a hectic world that sometimes overwhelms.

The world we experience is the only world we can experience. We can describe that world to some extent, but event that is fluid.

The picture and the poem come to life together. It is in pauses we find refreshment. We clear our minds and hearts of certainty and welcome what we do not understand and possibly cannot fully understand into our lives. It is in those moments that our hearts melt as we turn silently towards the sun.

Each morning we are born again. That is a lovely thought and a great reminder that life is always a process of self-renewal. We get to celebrate it and what it offers in this moment.

The little owl has it right. This is what Aristotle might have called phronesis, practical wisdom. It is knowing we wear and comes naturally.

Here is a little humour at the end of the day. I spent yesterday flying and today driving, so it good to smile and laugh..

I don’t what captured my eye most: the image, the poem, or the excerpt from Pablo Neruda. Perhaps it is the way they fit together into one. When two people are meant for each other, there is an entwining that is magical.
