God is pure. God is unrefined. God is essence. We look at the world for all its color and grandeur and there are lots of it. We are dazzled by flashiest and celebrity. We are amazed by grand gestures of ceremony and supernatural feats. It is as though are eyes are meant to see only the spectacular and the exciting. They get our juices flowing. Those who are living examples of amazement inspires us. It makes us want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves so that we can experience being the magnificent. But each of those moments and people started out from a simple space and time. They were once the purest form of their expression. A human being taking a breath. A planted seed. A team running around the field. A performer showing up for practice. If we are not present to the moment we are in we will not be present for the moment in which the result or progress occurs. We may not value the beauty of the inspiring if we do not show up for the breath that brings about the ultimate demonstration of miraculous. My experience has taught me that God marvels in our usualness as much as our magnificence. If we were to embrace ourselves the same way it would mean many moments of inspiration and miracles. When I have my date time with God it starts by centering myself and slowing my breath. Each day God is there to greet me as though my attention to the simplest part of being alive draws God closer. Never before have I had such value placed on the usualness of being alive. My prayer for us today is a willingness to see the usual elements of our lives as the magnificence of being alive and know it is enough. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
