AOM Meditations: 121918

Braids (1977) by Andrew Wyeth

I love the detail, the atmosphere, the mood, the nobility
  
~*~

  

Do not lose time on daily trivialities

Do not dwell on petty detail.

For all of these things melt away

and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time

Live well, and live broadly

You are alive and living now.

Now is the envy of all the dead.

“Look at everything always 

as though you were seeing it 

either for the first or last time: 

Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”

~Betty Smith

“Don’t ask what the world needs. 

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. 

Because what the world needs 

is people who have come alive.”

~Howard Thurman
