Joseph Grant

Darkness is necessary. All life germinates in the dark and we spend fully one half of our lives in that state.

Are you ready to welcome the glimmer of new beginnings?

Amid all the disaster and distress that wheels around and swirls within us in chaotic times, there are also always marvels to behold.

If this were your last day, hour, minute, or breath, imagine how you might drink in the daylight, taste the twilight, touch the stars, smell the sunshine, delight at songbirds, listen to the look of your loved ones.

Mystics, artists, and prophets exemplify this surrender into solidarity; letting the self be moved by suffering and inspired by imagining.

May you find a way in every day, to share your great-fullness for all that touches your eyes.

Like sturdy trees that bend with the breeze, wisdom-inspired living offers a deeper mooring for our being and our doing, which allows for movement even as we are deeply rooted.
