“You have tracked too fast over false ground;

now your soul has come to take you back,

Take refuge in your senses,

open up to all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain when it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight, taking time to open the well of color

that fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone until its calmness can claim you.”

John O’Donohue
