“One thing we've learned this summer is that a house is not an end in itself, any more than "home" is just one geographic location where things feel safe and familiar. Home can be anyplace in which we create our own sense of rest and peace as we tend to the spaces in which we eat and sleep and play. It is a place that we create and re-create in every moment, at every stage of our lives, a place where the plain and common becomes cherished and the ordinary becomes sacred.” FeelsEndsPlayMomentsHomeHouseSleepSpaceCommonOur LivesOne ThingStageSafeSummerOrdinarySacredFamiliarJust OneLocationRest And Peace Author:Katrina Kenison

“...there is no such thing as a charmed life, not for any of us, no matter where we live or how mindfully we attend to the tasks at hand. But there are charmed moments, all the time, in every life and in every day, if we are only awake enough to experience them when they come and wise enough to appreciate them.” IfsMatterEnoughMomentsHandsWiseAppreciateTasksAwakeCharmedTask At HandCharmed Life Author:Katrina Kenison
“Perhaps the real point of life is simply to wear us down until we have no choice but to start abandoning our defenses. We learn that the way things are is simply the way they are meant to be right now, and then, suddenly, at long last, we catch a glimpse of the abundance in the moment--abundance even in the face of things falling apart.” WayLongRealMomentsLastsFacesLife IsChoicesFallRight NowDefenseAbundanceMeant To BeNow And ThenGlimpseFalling Apart Author:Katrina Kenison
“Alone-in moments of prayer or meditation, or simply in stillness-we breathe more deeply, see more fully, hear more keenly.
