I couldn’t agree more. The deepest beauty and mystery often reveal themselves in the quiet, overlooked moments that our rushed world so easily dismisses. If we silence our desires and open our hearts, we begin to truly experience life the way it was intended.
Thank you for this, it's beautifully written! I was born after the 2000s, so this call to set aside modern work culture pressures and the "siren song of neon content" strikes particularly true to me. I see how this digital world has kept myself and others in this state of addiction, where we are slowly destroying and isolating ourselves from all that is true and good.
So beautiful and true. Thank you for the reminder. When I feel empty, maybe it’s because I’m running around trying to fill myself instead of making myself available to be filled.
I really needed to hear this today. I always feel like I should be “doing” something—especially when there is so much to do. But we are not human doings we are human beings. Going to keep this in mind in the coming weeks.
This checks out. I've found that the joy in growing a garden comes from watching it burst into vibrant color as much as the harvest itself.
Right now, the pumpkin vines are blooming golden yellow, and growing a mile a minute. The onion leaves are a lovely deep green; the carrots are coloring up, shrugging out of the damp soil. The borage sprays a thousand tiny violet stars. July is a time of wonder.

Write your book next winter if you can! It can sit next to Thoreau and Emerson on my bookshelf.
Beautifully written, the healing factor of truth and beauty in nature articulated
This is something I really needed to read today. This is so beautifully expressed…thank you for sharing with us!
As someone who too easily settles into a cycle of production and consumption and seldom finds time to just be I needed to hear this.
