Excavate

WORDS LIKE LIGHT 

Friday, February 4, 2022

         Today, like all days, I’ll be in for marvelous surprises, especially if I’m willing to do some steady and easy excavating. There are always treasures – and some big ones – buried just beneath the surface of each moment, and all I have to do is patiently and good-naturedly dig a little. It just takes some steady scooping to see the rich resources hidden beneath the surface of my sometimes seemingly tedious life. I have to be willing to – and remember to – simply pause and do a little burrowing into any present moment, and I will always be pleasantly surprised by what I discover. There’s newness and freshness and amazement waiting for me, thousands of time every day. I just have to take the time to excavate and uncover it.
