"Be willing to be a beginner every single morning." ~ Meister Eckhart
Let's move into this new year willing and ready to learn
and grow.
Like curious children exploring, let's be willing to try on new shoes, especially shoes that seem too big for us now. Our bodies may have stopped growing, but our gifts and capacities can expand beyond our limited expectations.
So, let's not be afraid of:
Shoes that make us stand taller.
Shoes that might make us trip and fall;
we'll rise again.
Shoes that lead to adventure.
Shoes that bring wisdom.
Shoes that open our hearts and help us understand what it's like to walk in another person's shoes.
Let's not be afraid, period.
Let's aim to wake each morning with hope and wisdom and walk bravely and beautifully into the day with love, courage, and compassion.
Faith and joy,
too,
Charlene
