HOPE

… is the motion that runs from the eyes to the tail of the dog, it is the mouth that inflates the lungs of the child that has just been born.

It is the singular gift we cannot destroy in ourselves, the argument that refutes death, the genius that invents the future, all we know of God.

— Lisel Mueller

Rhonda’s comments:

The New Year leads me to a deeper awareness of how I can so easily get in my own way, and a quite wonderful way, at that! It is I who prevents my own happiness by letting my thoughts get the better of me and doubting infinite possibilities. I have only occasionally rampled here at the Center of Happiness – processed out loud – and I plan to do this more often and more regularly in the months to come… as a place to discover what I want and how best to shape my work. I am always open to your insights as well, for it is often in thinking out loud that we hear the wisdom in our ouwn words and discover our own insights, and stretch when we listen listen and grow with others. So, I have hope for this New Year, and am giving more confidently, listening more consciously, and noticing more fully the amazing wonders.

In Joy it all, Rhonda
