As I think about the pivotal times we live in and inner life we walk, this book came into my life as a reminder of all things possible and beautiful. One of my favorite artists and authors is Mary Anne Radmacher from Oregon who delights me with her creative quotes and cards. This is her first book, and offers us an opportunity to remember to listen to our Spirit.
Excerpt from page 161:
we are remembered from the ways we have walked our ideals.
at the heart of history is this reminder—you paint the colors of your days.
Recognize that your spiritual self is a crucial voice in the whole of your life. Recognize what you believe and begin to comprehend why you believe it. Your spirituality is intrinsic to growth, the process of change, creative expression—all essential processes of living.
from perspective comes unusual courage.
from a place of isolation
comes unexpected breathless beauty.
for all the times you have sewn strings on the buttons of
my spirit . . .
for all the roots you have nurtured,
for all the ways you helped me to see dirt
as an opportunity to grow.
you teach so many ways of thinking
paths to learning.
having you as a teacher has given me
the vision and the strength to teach . . . and
the courage to learn.
there is synthesis.
there is silence.
then there are spaces
in between the two.
