Cultivate Awe

The only joy in the world is to begin.
It is good to be alive
because living is beginning,
always,
every moment.
Cesare Pavese (1908-1950)

We do not remember days
…
we remember moments.
Cesare Pavese (1908-1950)
Enjoy “Ordinary Days” by talented folk singer, J J Heller.
It’s a sweet song you want to listen over and over again to help you remember what matters.
Here’s the lyrics for “Ordinary Days”.
It’s the sunlight through the curtains
Morning pushing back the night
It’s your faces in the kitchen
Little moons of borrowed light
Morning pushing back the night
It’s your faces in the kitchen
Little moons of borrowed light
On your tiptoes always reaching
For something bigger than you are
It’s holding you and knowing
That I’ve caught a shooting star
For something bigger than you are
It’s holding you and knowing
That I’ve caught a shooting star
I know it won’t always be like this
Eyes are open, I don’t wanna miss
Eyes are open, I don’t wanna miss
These ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
It’s the way you feel the music
Spinning like the falling leaves
You are poetry in motion
And you want to dance with me
Spinning like the falling leaves
You are poetry in motion
And you want to dance with me
I know it won’t always be like this
Eyes are open, I don’t wanna miss
Eyes are open, I don’t wanna miss
These ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
Oh, the days are moving slowly
But the years go by so fast
Let me linger in these moments
Before they turn into the past
How I want to make them last
But the years go by so fast
Let me linger in these moments
Before they turn into the past
How I want to make them last
These ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me wanna stay
In these ordinary days
