"Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." -- Mary Oliver
There is much to be said for just paying attention. Some mornings I walk into our sanctuary to retrieve something and suddenly turn around to notice the sun coming through this window in a way that never fails to take me by surprise. It is astonishing the beauty that surrounds us every moment. A ray of sunlight, a pure note sung by our neighbor, an infant's smile, or light streaming through blue glass. Allow yourself to be astonished today!
