Service was joy

Rabindranath Tagore

I slept and dreamt that life was joy
I woke and saw that life was service
I acted and behold! Service was joy.

Quote of the Day

Deep within your soul
there is a KNOWING PLACE
a sanctuary where gifts are nurtured.

Enter that sacred space.

Spend time there tending your gifts.

There in the chapel of your heart
you will become a gift to be given.

~ from THE SONG OF THE SEED by Macrina Wiederkehr
