Life's Rhythm And Harmony

We cannot be happy

if we expect to live all the time

at the highest peak of intensity.

Happiness is not a matter of intensity

but of balance and order

and rhythm and harmony.

Thomas Merton

Slow down and enjoy life.
It's not only the scenery you miss
by going too fast -
you also miss the sense
of where you are going and why.

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
