Birmingham, AL
Cocooned by quilts, tucked into the strong arms of shelter... rain taps insistently overhead adding yet more insulation while I'm burrowed into my snuggle-safe world. Oh how lucky I am! I have in no way earned to be blessed while others struggle. For me today, this isn't a call to rush headlong toward a great cause but to pause with indrawn breath and expand my awareness...to feel in my everyday world where I can add a little joy or lessen a burden or confront a need I would rather turn my head and ignore. Some people are built to lead great causes but what magic can individuals create by just their daily choices? Cradled so tenderly I am graced to feel challenged to find out.
