Quietude is a state of calmness, a place of stillness, in which the seeds of love, joy and peace may quietly grow, flourish and blossom.
~ Mary Anne Byrne ~
Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

WELL, A NEW YEAR IS HERE, AND IT IS A YEAR FOR THE STRONG AND THOSE THAT ARE REALLY DOING THEIR INNER WORK!
HAPPY OR NOT WE WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE NEED TO!
HOWEVER , I HOPE WE CAN BE HAPPY WHILE DOING WHAT WE MUST
Happiness often slips through a door you forgot open.
Beautiful, this group. Thanks for creating!

“Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work.”
― Marianne Williamson

Yes, indeed, we and the outside World do not always coincide!
We can always be in Springtime!
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus

Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.

Oh, Spring is surely coming,
Her couriers fill the air;
Each morn are new arrivals,
Each night her ways prepare;
I scent her fragrant garments,
Her foot is on the stair.
~ John Burroughs
It won't be long until the springtime, when we may open the windows and breathe God's fresh air... Soon will the birds come back... How cheerfully Nature greets them. She puts out her leaves to hide their homes, and kisses them with the wind, the warm wind... Ah, Spring, we wait for you; for as the sap mounts the limbs of the tree so hope rises and we become bright again.

Anyone who thinks gardening begins in the spring and ends in the fall is missing the best part of the whole year; for gardening begins in January with the dream.

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you ..... only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.
~ Ruth Stout
Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.
