Katrina Kenison Quotes

Reading, reading actively, strengthens the soul Picture Quote #1

Solitude is the soul’s holiday, an opportunity to stop doing for others and to surprise and delight ourselves instead Picture Quote #1

...there is no such thing as a charmed life, not for any of us, no matter where we live or how mindfully we attend to the tasks at hand. But there are charmed moments, all the time, in every life and in every day, if we are only awake enough to experience them when they come and wise enough to appreciate them Picture Quote #1

I can only bring peace to my children when I possess it myself Picture Quote #1

Now I see that the journey was never meant to lead to some new and improved version of me; that it has always been about coming home to who I already am Picture Quote #1

In stillness, we find our peace. Knowing peace at home, we bring peace into the world Picture Quote #1

As I loosen my grip on the past, as I keep taking one small step after another in the direction I want to go, I discover I’m being supported and guided after all, and that as soon as I’m willing to embrace change, something or someone comes along and shows me how. Magic wasn’t something I had to go in search of; it was here within me, all the time. When hearts are open, when love is flowing, magic happens Picture Quote #1

I take the seashell from my jeans pocket and rub my fingers across its silken, indented surface, shallow as my own open hand. This chalice, subtly shaped by some divine intelligence to allow water to flow in and out with ease, is what I aspire to become: a vessel through which feelings can pour in and spill right out again, without all the grasping and holding that obstructs the flow. Can I be as serene and simple as this bleached shell, rubbed smooth by wind and water, receiving and releasing, filling and emptying and filling again, eternally receptive to the currents of life? Picture Quote #1

Growth and transformation occur not by changing who we are, but as we summon the courage to be who we are Picture Quote #1

Life finds its balance. Children grow up. Second chances come along. In the meantime, I could choose to savor this moment. What good would it do to allow annoyance to interfere with gratitude? Picture Quote #1

It has taken awhile, but I certainly do know it now andshy;andshy;– the most wonderful gift I had, the gift I finally learned to cherish above all else, was the gift of all those perfectly ordinary days Picture Quote #1

Magic wasn’t something I had to go in search of; it was here, within me, all the time. When hearts are open, when love is flowing, magic happens Picture Quote #1

We are the windows through which our children first see the world. Let us be conscious of the view Picture Quote #1

Meaning and purpose come not from accomplishing great things in the world, but simply from loving those who are right in front of you, doing all you can with what you have, in the time you have, in the place where you are Picture Quote #1

I know I can’t make time slow down, can’t hold our life as it is in a freeze frame or slow my children’s inexorable journeys into adulthood and lives of their own. But I can celebrate those journeys by bearing witness to them, by paying attention, and, perhaps most of all, by carrying on with my own growth and becoming. Now it dawns on me that the only way I can figure out what I’m meant to be doing is to try to understand who I’m meant to be... I will not waste this life, not one hour, not one minute. I will not take for granted the blessing of our being here... I will give thanks Picture Quote #1
