And so we start once more


Two thoughts from the first reading of the year in 
Sister Stanislaus Kennedy's book, Gardening The Soul

...

A winter garden is like the dark corners in our 
hearts which we try to ignore.

It is the silent sanctuary of our own hearts that we make room for the transforming power of love to grow within us and radiate through us

(Sister Stanislaus Kennedy)


Allow your judgements their own silent undisturbed development, 
which like all progress must come from deep within
and cannot be forced or hastened.
Everything is gestation then birthing.
 
(Rainer Maria Rilke)

 
 
happy new year
