"Out of the strain of the Doing,
Into the peace of the Done."
Julia Louise Woodruff
Al and I were babysitting Henry last weekend and tried to encourage Henry to get into the Hot tub with us. His first reaction was to burst out crying. We each took time holding him and walking him around the Hot Tub to help him learn it was okay. When John and Liz came for Lunch on Sunday they also helped Henry learn that the Hot Tub was fun. The photo today shows that Henry learned "out of the strain of Doing, Into the peace of Done," as Julia Louise Woodruff's quote of peace teaches. Sometimes we just have to "do it" to feel the peace of done....and have fun.

Really love that quote, Pati. The peace of done. I relate so well to that, and I appreciate having this little place to come and be inspired by peacefulness.
