To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.
*William Blake. Auguries of Innocence.
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
*Ray Bradbury
A monk lived a simple life, in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening, while he was away, a thief sneaked into the hut only to find there was nothing there to steal. The monk returned and found him. "You have come a long way to visit me," he told the thief, "and you should not return empty handed. Please take my clothes as a gift." The thief, bewildered, took the clothes and ran away. The monk sat nude, watching the moon. "Poor fellow," he thought, “I wish I could give him this beautiful moon."
The above story illustrates the beauty, grace, and freedom of simplicity. As we become less attached to things, we become freer to enjoy Life. Likewise, we delight in the commonest things. We become, through simplicity, more attuned to the Heart of Gratitude, rejoicing in even the smallest daily gifts of Grace. Simplifying our lives opens up space for wonderment.

We are each a lovely Rose in the Garden of Grace.
