Daily Zen - Wednesday, December 4

The biggest gift you can give is to be

absolutely present. And when you're 

worrying about whether you're hopeful

or hopeless or pessimistic or optimistic,

who cares? The main thing is that you're

showing up, that you're here, and that you're

finding ever more capacity to love this world...

~ Joanna Macy

Daily Zen - Monday, January 14

To be alive in this beautiful,

self-organizing universe—

to participate in the dance

of life with senses to perceive it, 

lungs that breathe it, organs that 

draw nourishment from it—

is a wonder beyond words.

~ Joanna Macy
