Peace Quotes & Get Inspired By Tranquil Holiday Interiors Now points to quiet moments in the soul and at home. Just now, I wish you plenty of hushed moments in the weeks ahead to steal away with a comforting mug of deliciousness. Moments to read or listen to music which transports you in sacred mysterious ways. I wish you eyes to see through any gloom and a softened heart to sense the goodness flowing from what is everlasting.

Peace Quotes & Get Inspired By Tranquil Holiday Interiors
Poetry from Mary Oliver
Praying by Mary Oliver
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
From: Thirst: Poems

While this isn’t a Christmas hymn – “Sunrise” is such a meditative, heartful, positive piece that points skyward.
What a gorgeous setting at sunrise in Jordan! And when the strings emerge at 1:45, oh my…and at around 5:20 when the vocalist sings in Arabic the beautiful refrain:
‘Cause when I’m hurt
Then I’ll go to your church
‘Cause when I’m hurt
Then I’ll go to your church

Oh, this video brought back memories. My first glimpse of Egypt was from my hotel balcony at sunrise with the mystical Call to Prayer. That is when these old cities are at their most beautiful, just before the cacophony of noise begins – the constant beeping of horns in a crowded city, the language foreign to our ears & the dense crowds of people. That was the start of life and new experiences in a different world for the next few years.
“What’s the difference between those that See & Seek Gaps and those that See & Seek Bridges? The first Stops & Stays on the Side. The second crosses & Sees new Worlds.”
Have a wonderful weekend, Michele!
