“We have all probably noted those sudden moments of quiet - those strange and almost miraculous moments in the life of a big city when there is a cessation of traffic noise - just an instant when there is only the sound of footsteps which serves to emphasize a sudden peace. During those seconds it is possible to notice the sunlight, to notice our fellow humans, to take breath.” HumansMomentsBigsSoundCitiesSilenceStrangeQuietBreathsFellowsNoiseInstantSecondsSunlightTrafficMiraculousFootstepsBig Cities Author:Dorothy Day
“The process could be likened to relaxing on a riverbank and watching a fish leap out of the water, sparkle for a moment in the sunlight, then dive back in a graceful arc. There is no need to engage in a mental dialogue about the merits and demerits of the fish, emotionally react to the fish, or jump into the water to try to catch the fish. Once the fish is out of sight, it should also be out of mind.” NeedsShouldTryingMindMomentsProcessWaterMeditationSightFishesDialogueMeritLeapSunlightArcsSparkle Author:Bill Vaughan
