The Divine Hides in Plain Sight
The sun is up, and you made it through the night again. But as the light fills the room, a quiet panic rises: is this all there is?
Just the same ordinary days, stretching out until the end? You feel small against the weight of routine.
Like a drop of water trying to hold the whole sky. But listen.
The light did not wait for you to be extraordinary before it arrived. It came while you were still asleep.
It is here, in this plain morning, in the steam of your coffee, in the silence before the phone rings. You are not just passing time.
You are a vessel for the immeasurable. The ordinary is not a cage.
It is the very place where the divine hides in plain sight.
