There is, I remind myself, no more direct pathway to peace,
no simpler way to encounter beauty,
no better way of slowing down.
than to try to practice devotion right where I am,
doing each day's tasks as they come
and building a life around what is already here.
From The Gift of an Ordinary Day , by Katrina Kenison
Such true words. And applesauce cake helps.
ReplyDeleteI have not yet made it to the post office as I was supposed to bring your package along with another I'm sending to someone via Craigslist...but I think she is either crazy or trying to scam me — so I'm not waiting any longer to lump those errands together ;)
I loved that book!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words:)
