Bornin thesubconscious,expectationsrear their ugly heads.Disappointment ensues.Either too high or too low.Satisfaction, a lofty goal.Reality enters soberly,shedding light on the underlying truth.

Travel opens my eyes and feeds my soul.Delightful, rich experiencesstretch and expand the horizonsof my ordinary life.Foreign sights, sounds and smellsweave an enticingtapestry, butit is goodto behome.

Somuch moreto the worldthan meets the eye.A shared history,passion and sacrifice,banishing an evil foe.Pilgrims journey to sacred sitesto pay homage to Divine presence.Lost in the ordinary, we forget.

Somanyunhappypeople, choosingto live in despair,hubris their undoing,finding no joy in small things,casting weak shadows in God’s light.The present moment is all we have.Choose to love and live your best life today.

Thesandboxis mayhem!Fistfuls of sandairborne as parentsare nowhere to be found!Is there no one in charge here?It is like the world in chaos.It is hard not to be overwhelmedand let life get in the way of prayers.

AsChristianswe believein the Divineworking within us.We are Easter people.Resurrection and rebirth.All cells of the body of Christsending love and breathing compassioninto a world in need of redemption.

Lookwith graceon the pinchedface of anger.Within that hard heartdwells a lost child of God.Reach beyond the hard bordersof resistance to compassion.For therein lies hope for redemptionthrough the passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Weare whowe are throughone another. We are not islands.The same yet different. In our shared humanityall lives are interrelated,a single garment of creation.As threads in God’s handiwork, we exist.

Thehardestperson toforgive is notour enemy butourselves. Lord have mercy,from You no secrets are hid.There is no need to conceal guilt.We are called to forgive each other,but cannot unless we forgive ourselves

Waitfor it.But what ifIT never comes?Has time been wasted?Worry not, for our callcan come in a gentle nudge,a gust of wind or by fast train.Watch for signs in the ordinary.Have faith, wherever we are, God is there.
