“It is a happy talent to know how to play.”  — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Brother David Steindl-Rast, in speaking on spirituality and mystery, said:

Are you living moment by moment  trying to grasp something  and take hold of it and having your plans and your own ideas and concepts? Or are you going into every moment and allowing life to move you deeply, to touch you? …if we are in the moment and open ourselves to life and keep our eyes and ears and all our senses open to ‘what is life giving me at this present moment? What is life saying to me? What is life expecting from me?’ That is living the spiritual life.

What life gave me this morning was the simple joy of watching Eleanor practice her cartwheels:

And the opening, for me to practice/play at photography as Eleanor practiced/played at cartwheels.

Thank you, Eleanor.  It was grand.
