There is no event so commonplace but that God is present within it, always hiddenly, always leaving you room to recognize him or not to recognize him… Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is, in the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness. Touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis, all moments are key moments and life itself is Grace.
About Me:
“but sometimes we’ve got to settle for not much;we need our rest; the great tragedy or the great victory will arrive soon enough. not all of us are gamblers and those who aren’t don’t matter.”
