“Tomorrow will always be just a dream. Why do we waste so many good Today’s not seeing the beautiful moment God placed right in our hands?~~ Riley Rosemont, from "Roses in Winter" by Leslie D. Stuart”

“For there are no ordinary moments. There are only precious feelings and memories we piece together one by one. We call it a lifetime.~~ Riley Rosemont, from "Roses in Winter" by Leslie D. Stuart”

“We are always hungry and never satisfied because we don’t trust and won’t risk. Can we reach a place where we are satisfied with just enough? You are enough. You have enough. Do not worry about tomorrow. God will provide in our lives just as God provides in the Eucharist.”

“If we live with possibilities we are exiles from the present which is given us by God to be our own, homeless and displaced in a future or a past which are not ours because they are always beyond our reach. The present is our right place, and we can lay hands on whatever it offers us.”

“Why do people need other people so much? Why can't we just do our work and go home? Why do we have to talk and touch and dream together?”

“There is a foundation for our lives, a place in which our life rests. That place is nothing but the present moment, as we see, hear, experience what is. If we do not return to that place, we live our lives out of our heads. We blame others; we complain; we feel sorry for ourselves. All of these symptoms show that we're stuck in our thoughts. We're out of touch with the open space that is always right here.”
