"Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour."— Walt Whitman
This quote rings true. You have to live for this time. Focus on what is right in front of you not behind you and not ahead of you. If that is what makes you truly happy then give it space to grow and become something that is awe inspiring. Don't be happy with the past because the present isn't exactly what you thought it would be. Don't punish the present for the past and don't set too high of standards on the present because the future is pressing in. Let this hour show you something that is real.
This is SO powerful, we're going to print this out and put it up in the studio as reminder of such truth, that is so easily forgotten.
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly holding the rudder steady, as you journey into this powerful time.
I love the quote AND the beautiful picture. You have certainly expressed the essence of Walt Whitman. Can't wait to see you Friday and take our little water-babies kayaking!
