One bite, one step, one moment at a time...

[You] can't swallow an elephant whole:
 "One bite of the elephant at a time"
~Tova Diamond
watercolor and candle wax

"The skin's tugged hard by the rush of time 
and I say it aloud in a current pounding past...:
Calm
Haste makes waste
Life is not an emergency
Life is brief and it is fleeting, but it is not an emergency...
Stay calm, 
enter the moment, 
give thanks..."

end of the day


watercolor

"It takes a full twenty minutes after your stomach is full for you brain to register satiation.  How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full?  
The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction."


-Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts
