“If we sit with an increasing stillness of the body and attune our mind to the sky or to the ocean or to the myriad stars at night, or any other indicators of vastness, the mind gradually stills and the heart is filled with quiet joy.”
- Ravi Ravindra, author
Each year I treasure the window of time after Santa’s visit and before the children rise. Before hot chocolate fills our cups and ripped wrapping paper flies about, I take time to slow down, savor and appreciate the warmth and light in my life. Decorated with ornaments from loved ones, our lighted tree becomes, for me, an “indicator of vastness,” and my heart is filled with quiet joy.
What fills your heart with quiet joy?
