Sometimes I can take things or people for granted and everything becomes part of the “normal everydayness.”  At times like this I can drift from one moment to another, doing the best to fit into this place called life. And because of this I can get lost and lose heart. We all can lose each other. It can take reminders to make us step back and realize what a blessing it is to be immersed in a life that is just full of meaning. As de Chardin said “Nothing here is profane for those who know how to see”.

Beauty surrounds us,
but usually we need to be walking
in a garden to know it.

Rumi, Story Water
