How often do we blink our eyes and take a second look?  Did you know that a human being blinks on average 15-20 times per minute? With each blink we have an opportunity to look again, to see differently, and to re-spect.  There is a natural inclination which we are party to all day long which provides the opportunity to respect what or who is present in our lives.  The lens through which we see can change, as they say, in a blink of an eye.  Our involuntary blinking response may be a clue into how we are given multiple opportunities to adjust our lens on life.  It coincides with the idea of learning to be in the moment we are in by seeing it with respect.   Noticing something or someone of value and esteem may not be present to us at this moment, but perhaps with the next blink.  When we blink and still see the same we can pause, take a breath, touch our hearts and ask God, how do you see this?  We can own that we are not able to adjust the spectacle before us and humbly invite God to help us see as God sees.  The wonder of it is we can do it many times throughout the course of the day.  According to our blinks, we can do it without having to think about it around 28,000 times in one day.
