“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.”

III John 1:2

“You have traveled too fast over false ground;

Now your soul has come, to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses,

Open up to all the small miracles you rushed through

Become inclined to watch the way of rain

When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,

taking time to open the well of color

that fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone

until its calmness can claim you.

Be excessively gentle with yourself.”

-John O’Donohue
