:: January days... ::

" His love of the transcendent,

his ecstatic praise of the vast and exquisite beauty of the world...

I want to be wide awake to the divine mystery of the world.

To keep my face and heart turned to wonder.

This, I think, is success.

This is what I want for myself."

{Hannah Kent : Always Home, Always Homesick}

in the stillness of January

amidst the chaos in the world

I know that peace and beauty

are attainable

actually required

for a life of hope and wonder.

for the acknowledgement

that no matter what

there is something to

be grateful for,

something to celebrate

no matter how small.

it's the least we can do

for the universe.

for each other.

for the salvation of our souls.

make beauty

seek beauty.

your heart will thank you.
