Acceleration arises from the desire itself – desire for the life we intuit awaits us. The desire itself translated step by step, day by day, into action is enough to propel us enormous distances.*
David Whyte

When we are in rhythm with our own natures, things flow and balance naturally.**
John O’Donohue

Have we found our whole heart yet?

Or do we still try and move through
Each day with a half-heart?

Willpower is not only
finite, but
appears to meet an equal resistance;
Heartfulness is self-renewing when
delivered faithfully each day in the small actions
that give shape to our desires:
Let yourself be silently drawn by the
strange pull of what you really love. I
t will not lead you astray.^

For me, these daily actions are to
read, journal, write, doodle, converse –
Yours will be different, though
no less powerful.

The sustaining power of rituals
is that they conserve
energy.^^
