It takes a certain mind, a certain slowness of step, to appreciate the ordinary; most of us are simply too busy to notice. I try to cultivate my appreciation, to slow down and pay more attention, but it is difficult. Life speeds up and makes demands, doing the laundry becomes a chore instead of worship, walking the dog a hurried exercise in the cold instead of a chance to explore. My goal is to notice one ordinary thing each day and write about it here.
