I read this in Winn Collier's blog today:
"Last week, a good friend reminded me of David Whyte’s words I’ve long appreciated: “the antidote to exhaustion is not rest but wholeheartedness.” To be sure, rest and leisure, kicking up the feet and laying low for a spell, is more than necessary. Yet, our deep weariness comes whenever our skill, energy or hopes do not burn from that deep truth God has tattooed on our soul. To live wholehearted, we must say no to many worthwhile things, and we must say yes to a few absolutely essential things."
Watching Anna dance today in her class helped me enter into some of this wholeheartedness today....

Hearing Ryan play the piano for them while they dance is such a treat too!
Ms. Vivian's routine at the end of class each week shaking their hands and giving them compliments about their work that day as they curtsey and thank her for class ...
