If your children see that you are seeking, they will seek—the finding part is up to God.

Nothing is so difficult but that it may be found out by seeking.
“Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.”
William Shakespeare
Love’s Labour ’s Lost. Act i. Sc. 1
“Navarre shall be the wonder of the world;
Our court shall be a little academe,
Still and contemplative in living art.”

Polly is wise and practical, and I think it was her words, that inspired me as a new mother— Baby wakes up crying in the middle of night, I want to sleep. How to hold crying baby? Cultivate the spaciousness of peace. Being “with” instead of focused on “behavior result” (making baby stop crying, so I can go back to sleep). 19 years later, that image lets me meet what is, in a healing relationship with myself when I feel like crying and holds me in gentle mercy. Thanks for sharing Polly on your . And you are awesome!

I didn’t have this growing up but I have certainly learned it along the way and I share it now so thank you for including the proverb as it means so much to those like myself.

Also, knowing of your wonderful charity work down south- thought you would love to read this story of the free clinic in Appalachian mountains where folks came from 16 states and lined up far as eyes can see 🙁 Moved me to tears. Wish I could have been there to write story for Womens Media Center: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111676259&sc=fb&cc=fp
