The Holy and Hidden Heart

Seen in Wisdom Quotes … “Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. Touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are sacred moments and life itself is grace.” … Frederick Buechner

Great advice. Maybe the best we could ever take.

We spend altogether too much time wondering about what’s "next" in our lives and altogether too little time in wonder about what he calls the “fathomless mystery” that life is. Life is such a gift ... think about it. Don't think about the details. Just think about the largest picture of your life ... every breath you take ... the way the human body is built and works ... the way the eyes see and the ears hear and the brain thinks ... the hope that you can create in yourself and the love you can give to others ... the soul you harbor. All of it an immense mystery.

Every moment on this side of the grass is indeed sacred. Those that have passed on would give anything for just one of those moments. As he says, life itself is grace ... enjoy it, live it, thrive in it. Don't waste a moment because life is precious, and short ... pray on that today.
