Love Kept in the Hands

Let the beauty we love be what we do.

Most of what we love we keep at a distance, admired, saved for later. But love wants a body. It wants to become the way you pour water, the care in a folded towel, the pause before you answer someone. This morning, notice that devotion is mostly small and repeated. The breath teaches this. Each exhale is a chance to set something down gently, and to pick the next thing up with intention.

Question for today

What is one thing you love that your hands could do today?

Practice

Before your first task, breathe in for four, hold for seven, exhale for eight, then do that task slowly, as if it were a gift.
