Waking Up to This Day: Seeing the Beauty Right Before Us

Inspiring insights on being awake and aware, in good times and bad, by the author of The Gift of the Red Bird.


Centuries ago, Brother Lawrence wrote the spiritual classic Practice in the Presence of God. In 2004 Eckart Tolle gave us The Power of Now. Today, Paul D'Arcy shares her experience of living fully in the present in Waking Up to This Day.


This lovely meditation on the beauty and giftedness of the world and our lives helps us to stop feeling guilty about the past, angry over the present, or obsessed with the future. Instead, we can come to realize the grace and goodness that is already ours.
