And no one else will judge you poorly if you go to bed early.

Walking in Awareness

I begin in silence, and as I start to enter that silence

I tried to become aware of my breathing.

I spend a moment or two to alert myself to God's presence, and to take a deep breath of air.

With gratitude, I thank God for this error, which I can easily take for granted,

and yet it is the substance of my life, of all life.

It comes from that unceasing generosity of God, which holds me and the whole universe in existence.

-Esther deWaal

I have learned that I am a delicacy

And that someday someone will

Whisper my name under their breath

Just to savor my acquired taste.

I know the joy of fishes

in the river

through my own joy, as I go walking

along the same river

-Chuang Tzu

I love the half a coin that I already have in my hand

from yesterday

more than the promise of a whole one today

or the promise of 100 tomorrow

I'm a child of this moment

- Rumi
