As we enter the winter, we come to the Sabbath time of year, when nature rests. A sense of Sabbath,
a commitment to taking time and space out of our busy lives and giving it to the sacred, can restore our openness to grace and make us alive to the miracles around us ~ Sr Stan

[Sr Stan @srstansquotes]

Setting aside time each day to be present, to be attentive, to be still ~ Sr Stan

With every gift
there comes opportunity:
the sun shining through the trees
the dew glistening on an open flower
the smile of a baby
the embrace of a friend

When we take these opportunities,
enjoy them to the full,
we dwell in the gift of being alive

~ Sr Stan

Each new morning happens,
lifting us out of darkness,
holding us in light,
touching us with warmth,
opening us to possibilities,
filling us with hope,
the quiet kindness of this new day.
~ Sr. Stan

When we wake in the morning let us greet the day that lies ahead and acknowledge that this is not just another day, this is the one day that has been given to us, and it is a gift

[Sr Stan @srstansquotes]

In stillness and silence
we experience wisdom
challenging us
to listen
encouraging us
to take risks
loving us
into accepting ourselves
~ Sr Stan

[Sr Stan @srstansquotes]

Living in the moment ensures we do not miss the present,
or find it gone before we have experienced it,
ensures we do not find day has passed us by
before we have fully lived it.
~Sr Stan

A frantic busy life muddies the waters of our inner wisdom and understanding. When we rest and still the mind we experience a new energy and a gradual clarity of experience ~ Sr Stan

[Sr Stan @srstansquotes]

Living now,
not in the past, in the dark
not in the brightness of light yet to come
only now in this moment
