So many opportunities to explore. Every day the earth s moisture being drawn into the root of a vine, is turned by the grape into wine, and no man wonders. Full of wonder then are all the things, which men never think to wonder at. So easily can the ordinary reveal its extraordinariness, if only we look at it the right way. Or maybe we trick ourselves by thinking that anything in this world is less than extraordinary.
Grace is also about gratitude.
You know, as in saying grace before meals. I was never really comfortable with this practice, having grown up in a rational humanist tradition. Nor do I always say grace. But there are times when I sit down to eat, and the company or the food or the moment reminds me how grateful I am for the company or the food or the moment or the gift of life. And so I offer thanks, sometimes silently, sometimes aloud.
