| I find that there is majesty in rituals and celebrations when the intention is about honouring the moment: the moment of birth; the moment of marriage; the moment of death; the moment of hope when wishing anew at the start of a new year. And always, simply always, the moment when we fall in love again.

An Intentional Life
SWEET HONEY FROM FADED DREAMS
The places of dashed or faded dreams are the real points of change and growth.
Dashed hopes and faded dreams are the places where longing is unexpectedly
thwarted. These are the places of discovery, reintegration and splendid re-emergence.
There is a beautiful verse from the Spanish poet,
Antonio Machada:
Last night I dreamed --blessed illusion --
that I had a beehive here
in my heart
and that
the golden bees were making
white combs and sweet honey
from my old failures.
translated by Robert Bly
