New series of quotes: Day 1

My best friend and soul sister is taking off on a grand adventure. I wish to accompany her in spirit by walking (or maybe in my case swimming, cycling or kayaking) and meditating here at home and publishing inspirational quotes every day. Bon voyage!!

The narrative of our lives is written in the simple and the small. 

The big moments are life's punctuation marks.

This yellow cornflower

Is imperfect

The more

I look

At it

The more

I see

Its beauty

Our differences

Our quirkiness

That which makes us

Asymmetrical

Lopsided

Out of sync

And occasionally

Out of tune

All of that is

What makes us

Beautiful

Worthy

Of

Love

May We

Always

Be

Authentic

How we make each other feel
