Thankful Everyday 4-1-25
Today I give thanks for the unexpected intrusions of beauty surrounding me each day. As I sat down for morning prayer, I was startled by this scene. How often have I seen exactly this and yet not noticed, not really looked closely? Early light raking across a gracefully curving, handmade jar that I purchased from the potter over fifty years ago. A time when adult life was just beginning for me. My sense of awe immediately brought me into the realm of memory.
I needed this. March felt barren. Hard to get started each day. The same tasks over and over again. How much did I miss by rolling down that rabbit hole of “blah-ness”?
May I take time to notice these magical interruptions – every the tiniest ones – and give thanks.
