Random Quote
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now. And that’s a revelation for some people: to realize that your life is only ever now.

Up in the side yard the partridgeberry was blooming, and the pairs of white flowers were so beautiful, and so were the pink buds and the plush moss, and I stopped to take their pictures though the light was failing … Continue reading
