There is nothing but magic in the world:
it is disguised among the events of our banal, ordinary days,
shining mysteriously, a defiant glimmer visible only in the right light,
and to the right eyes.
This invisible current goes unseen to most with exception to the few of us who remember
what it is to wonder and dream of miraculous happenings in everyday places,
those who are free enough to take a closer look.

'I loved you so much once.  I did.  More than anything in the whole wide world.  Imagine that.  What a laugh that is now.  Can you believe it?  We were so intimate once upon a time I can't believe it now.  The memory of being that intimate with somebody.  We were so intimate I could puke.  I can't imagine ever being that intimate with somebody else.  I haven't been.'
― Raymond Carver

Moments spend in quiet presence transcend time as it is familiar, accomplishing far more than one can imagine.  Bring to yourself peace by sacrificing a moment of your time, and you will begin to notice your abundant blessings, to both yourself and your loved ones.  Through the intimacy of your mindfulness, you are being transformed from the inside out to the one you desire to be.  Neither resist time or attempt to speed it up, allow things to just happen as they will.  Instead of seeking perfection in this imperfect world, embrace the broken because it is the gaps that allow the light to shine in and through.  Allow yourself to trust that all will be seen as it was meant to, in its right time.  When things seem all wrong, trust that fate will see it through anyway.  It is not within the right circumstances but within your right response to said circumstance that allows you to overcome whatever obstacle may be in your path.

the stars shone like sapphire flames in the trees;
tiny little lights scattered like dust.  
the sky is the deepest blue I have ever seen.
the moon is asleep.  wish you were here.

"I am the one whom others entrust with their secrets.
Mine is a heavy existence to be the bearer of burden for so many.
A weight is put on my heart, which takes a toll in unspeakable ways."

clarity

[klar-i-tee] 

noun

the quality of being clear, in particular:

1.

clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; the quality of coherence and intelligibility.

2.
the quality of being easy to see or hear; sharpness of image or sound.

3.

the quality of being certain or definite.

4.

' A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity. When for a few brief seconds, the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think. Things seem so sharp, and the world seems so fresh, as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be. '

' We realize—often quite suddenly—that our sense of self,
which has been formed and constructed out of our ideas, beliefs and images, is not really who we are.
It doesn’t define us, it has no center. '
