Relishing the mundane

Wonder in White by Tina Derusha

Let this be your gentle invitation to fall in love with the ordinary.

Not the grand, not the shiny, not the someday, but the quiet now.

The warmth of a sunbeam across the floor.

The slow curl of heat rising on still air in the depths of summer.

The hush of evening light settling over your day.

We rush so often toward what is next that we forget the sacred is already here.

Hidden in the familiar.

Tucked into routines.

Waiting in the pause between tasks.

To savor the small is to say yes to life as it is.

It's to choose being over doing.

Satisfaction over striving.

Wonder over weariness.

Let yourself be captivated by the unnoticed.

Let the world surprise you with its softness.

A breeze.

A birdsong.

The feel of your own breath — steady, alive, enough.

This week, move slowly.

See what beauty you can find without searching.

Let the mundane become magical, simply because you’re paying attention.

This, too, is sacred.
