Gazing at Creation


Masterpieces of wonder,
color, transformation,
and trial -- 
this is the Holy ordinary.

Each dance of light;
Each intricate detail;
Each wiggle in the wind --
All these creations
contain a proclamation:
“Yes, I made it
to this Holy Now!”

The same is true for humans.
Alive, breathing, dancing, too.

Masterpieces unite.
