Everything Becomes Magic

there’s a little dash of sun that

sneaks through the curtains to ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

warm our tender hearts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

it’s a spiritual practice, i think. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

to notice simple things like this⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

(and it’s easy to miss them⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

or interrupt them in our haste)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

to wake up to recognize this light as the presence of love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

love that gives life and vitality to everything that takes up space here ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

it does not ask for anything from us ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

let go of the hurry

let of of the need to explain

just be attentive

notice the way

different things catch light

as the sun passed through.

and notice the way

everything,

especially the ordinary, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

becomes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

magic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I spent a lovely morning with the Lauster family as they wait for their precious baby Jesse to arrive.
