Things I'd Overlooked

“Has anyone else found the mundanity of pandemic life sort of enlightening? I'm noticing things I'd overlooked before: The symphony of birds who sing a different tune from sunrise 'til dark, the way light bounces off the mirrors in my bedroom and creates little rainbows, the wee lizard who perches himself on the same patio chair every day. If this unique time is good for anything, it's rediscovery. And falling back in love with a familiar place that makes the days sweeter.” - Scottie Andrew, CNN
“When the younger son felt the depth of his isolation, he opted for that which gave him life again: family, friends, and community – the rediscovery of his deepest self.” - Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, today I rediscover my true self. I awaken to the beauty and miracles that are ever-present in my world. I turn within and feel the love of God. I reach out and connect with other blessed souls on my path. Today, I come home again to the goodness that is my Divine heritage. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
