In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind; it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are; it's the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.

You ask me about regret? Let me tell you a few things about regret, my darling. There is no end to it. You cannot find the beginning of the chain that brought us from there to here.

Love Him in the morning when you see the sun a-rising Love Him in the evening 'cause He took you through the day And in the in-between-time when you feel the pressure coming Remember that He loves you and He promises to stay
Of all the things you could pray for, pray for one. To be in that peace. To be able to recognize the blessing of this breath. The coming and going of this breath is my blessing. Beautiful. I love it. This is how that incredible beauty is touching us every time. Pulsing. This is the difference between you existing and you being a part of the dirt from which you came.
