I love this. There is so much power and life in the Now. It can be such a hard things to maintain, but when you catch it, it is always amazing. This is beautiful Jules :) Love you, Amy
Staying in the now is a moment to moment practice, for sure, but whew! How very filling it is to stay--not run, not hide, not resist--just stay with whatever IS. The beauty is always right here.
Thank you for sharing this breathless moment where love unites and fear is quenched. How many of these moments do we shy away from or talk over so that we can't hear them. This was brilliant Julia. Thank you for sharing this precious gem.
Yes, Leah-there are countless moments when I have turned and walked the other way or my thoughts have been so damn loud I can't hear or see a thing...I'm ready to be done with those moments, I'm really really ready.
thank you for reminding me to open my heart to the magic of this moment especially when i am trying to not let the busyness distract me from the beauty and love of my amazing girls
I get exactly what you're saying...I don't want to miss any more moments with my precious little girls either. When I really truly slow down and am right there with them, my heart breaks a little--the love is so HUGE it washes over me...I know in these moments, there is absolutely nowhere else to be.
Oh, Deb-you made my whole day. I'm smiling here, imagining me signing and sending you a copy hot off the press. I seriously can't wait until that day arrives. I feel all giddy inside just thinking about it.
Wow, Julia. This is one of my favorite things you've ever, ever written. I love "breath full of new." And holy shit, woman. What a reminder to be present, to not miss the magic that unfolds before our eyes for all our imagining how the moment might be different, more, less.
Ah, J. All this coming from you-the magician of words-you've filled my heart even fuller this morning. Thank you.
These words came to me the other day while I was walking on the beach...*every moment is a new opportunity to open to love*. Every moment is a breath full of new. We can always, always begin again.
