FINDING WHIMSY AND WISDOM

(Today I am sharing an Instagram post for the prompt, #liturgyofthelittlethings. Thank you, @sarah_westfall for the prompt! We are invited to capture small moments that bring happiness.)

My happiness moment for today was a bit of whimsy along the trail at the city park where I walked. I have followed this path many times, and only today – because I was paying attention, seeking joy – I noticed some of the fairy houses that were hidden under leaves and against roots.

There is a humble, gentle, mystical goodness that pervades all of life. We only need to pay close attention; we only need to notice, uncover, or discover this world beyond the norm, beyond our expectations.

May we continue to seek a new vision for our world, a world of imagination, creativity, and joy.

May we find the significance in the small and often hidden things.

May we dream of a better, kinder, gentler world and then work to make it so, beginning with ourselves.

Peace, dear friends.

  2. Let there be peace on Earth,
    and let it begin with me.
    Let me show Heaven’s worth,
    a glimpse of eternity,
    and let me reach out to all,
    no matter their race or creed;
    let me tear down the wall
    we truly no longer need.
    Let its bricks be full replaced
    by arms that are open wide;
    when old enemies have embraced,
    who’ll say what might then betide?
    A world of hope and love, perchance,
    a world of David’s joyous dance!
