““The treasures in our lives, are found and are gathered in the moments that we experience and that we create. These moments happen in the minutes that we indwell.

Stop and feel the minute you are living in right now: what does the wind feel like? What do the trees look like? What does that smile mean? Do you feel there is love? Gather your treasures.””
