An immense speck

Our lifetimes are specks in the universe, but they are the longest and only spans of time we will ever know.*
Beth Pickens

As Rilke says: Hier zu sein ist soviel – to be here is immense.**
John O’Donohue

It’s quite astonishing what we can do
with a little bit of time:
May we be playful with what we have,
Not regretting that we haven’t got more.

The point is to master the habit of showing up.^
