“Wherever you are, be all there.” ~ Jim Elliot
Life is made of a myriad of moments, a multitude of details. It’s so easy to be overwhelmed with all the big stuff of life that we overlook the fine-tuned details that surround us. I’m sharing a few little details I captured, most of which I walk past everyday.
“The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.” ~ William Morris
I’m glad these things vie for my attention because they have a way of actually getting it, catching my eye, making me stop … and take a moment.
“All the details of life and the quirks and the friendships can be laid out for us, but the mystery of their writing remains.No amount of documentation, however fascinating, can take us there.” ~V.S. Naipaul
Whatever moment you are in today, whether joy or pain—never dismiss the moment, the detail of your very place. When you think about it, the only moment that truly exists is the one you are in right now. So stop and hold onto it for a moment.
Some moments are times to embrace and absorb joy. For the difficult moments we need to receive love from sane, safe friends and family. It’s okay to not always be the giver or to have all the answers or to have everything together.
I hope it increases your joy as you trek your own crooked path. 🙂
“If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.” ~ Maria Edgeworth

/ July 21, 2016I can see that you too love hydrangeas. If the deer didn’t like them so much, I would plant a whole line of them along the side of my house. Alas, mine are in giant pots that I can bring inside in the fall.
And I love that quote about the moments….
