William Stafford

Yesterday you explored mindfulness. Today continues with Mid-Summer Grace.

Today's Practice

Mid-Summer Grace

July 16 centers mid-summer grace through William Stafford's words, making the page feel like a dated practice rather than a floating quote card.

Keep it brief. One honest sentence is enough.
