Your Breathing Space for March

Káren Wallace — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:36:08 +0000

Drumsound rises on the air,

its throb, my heart.

A voice inside the beat

says, “I know you’re tired,

but come. This is the way.”

~Jeláluddin Rumi (trans. by Coleman Barks)

Your Breathing Space for February

A thing of beauty is a joy forever;

Its loveliness increases; it will never

Pass into nothingness, but still will keep

A bower quiet for us, and a sleep

Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

~J Keats

Your Breathing Space for January

Káren Wallace — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 02:45:28 +0000

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn’t, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

Your Breathing Space for December

Káren Wallace — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:03:44 +0000

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

~Charles Dickens~

Thoughts, rest your wings. Here is a hollow of silence, a nest of stillness, in which to hatch your dreams.

Your Breathing Space for October

Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.

“For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”

Have you ever had a kindness shown? Pass it on;

‘Twas not for thee alone, Pass it on;

Let it travel down the years,

Let it wipe anothers tears,

‘Til in Heaven the deed appears –

Pass it on.

~Rev. Henry Burton, Pass It On
