recognizing my Hidden Wholeness

Two brothers were going through their recently deceased father’s things in his home. Among a lifetime of personal treasures, there was the familiar Norman Rockwell print hanging in the living room. Imagine their surprise when they found another Rockwell hidden behind a wall that was the same as the first one, only the hidden one was the original painting. Titled “Breaking Home Ties,” they sold it for $15 million.
“There is in all things a hidden wholeness.” – Parker Palmer
Affirmative prayer: There is, behind the façade of my human beingness, the original life of the Divine. I feel it when hold my loved ones, laugh with friends, and behold the beauty of nature. I bow to it in my prayers, and I recognize it in the eyes of my soul companions. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
