The further I wake into this life, the more I realize that God is everywhere and the extraordinary is waiting quietly beneath the skin of all that is ordinary. Light is in both the broken bottle and the diamond, and music is in both the flowing violin and the water dripping from the drainage pipe. Yes, God is under the porch as well as on top of the mountain, and joy is in both the front row and the bleachers, if we are willing to be where we are.
As I journey through life, it becomes increasingly clear that the presence of God surrounds us in all aspects of existence. The divine is not limited to grand moments but is intricately woven into the fabric of our mundane experiences. Both beauty and joy are found in unexpected places, from a shattered bottle to a precious diamond, revealing that the extraordinary lies hidden within the ordinary.
This perspective invites us to recognize that joy can be encountered anywhere, whether in moments of triumph or seemingly mundane settings. By being fully present and open to our surroundings, we can experience the fullness of life and appreciate the subtle miracles that await us in every moment.
