Leaning on Ann Voscamp's Joy Dares a bit for today's.
I read some really good books over the past weekend and some tidbits of wisdom popped up in their pages and made me grateful that I came across the words, several days later and I'm still chewing on bits and pieces - that's when you know it is good stuff! I'm grateful for thought provoking things hiding in all sorts of places. A few bits of wisdom that have me thinking:
"An owl is the wisest of all birds because the more it sees the less it talks." African Proverb
While this is an African proverb so therefore most likely published in multiple ways and places, I ran across it in "Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away" by Christie Watson.
"Periods in the wilderness or desert were not lost time. You might find life, wildflowers, fossils, sources of water." Anne Lamott, Stitches: A Handbook of Meaning, Hope, and Repair
"Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."
Psalm 62:5-8, NIV
