"Ours is not a caravan of despair. Even if you have broken your vows a thousand times, it doesn't matter. Come, come yet again, come." ~ Rumi

each breath is a fresh start.
in every breath we are reborn.
what an opportunity to grow, to love, to bring benefit to this needful world.

each moment, only once.

this is the truth of impermanence, of this world, and life.
but what an opportunity to cherish, to honor, to offer, to heal, to create, to love and make each moment count.

each moment, a gift.
each new moment, a new gift.
