Somewhere each day we have to fall in love with someone, something, some moment, event or phrase. Somehow each day we must allow the softening of the heart.

Otherwise our hearts will move inevitably toward hardness. We will move toward cynicism, bitterness, fear and despair.

Life moves very fast.

If we don’t pause, the business of our world will slowly de-sensitize us from the simple joys that life has to offer.

Stop.

Take a deep breath. Enjoy the moment. For that might very well be where life begins again.

Creative moments happen between the cracks of life.

It is a discipline to consciously simplify and re-discover those moments of falling in love again.

and again.

and again.
