Stay awake today.
There is no such thing as an ordinary moment.
Despite our labeling of parts of our day as boring, repetitive or meaningless, every single moment is God-saturated.
So wake up.
And stay awake.
When you turn toward a task you consider boring, say - washing some pots and pans - remember the wise words of the ancient mystic Teresa of Avila, who said:
"God walks among the pots and pans."
And as you scrub, you can even say to God,
"Speak Lord, for your servant is listening."
Or,
"Hello God, I am glad to be with you in this moment."
Or,
"Show me your beauty today."
Or even,
"Thank you that I am blessed enough to have pots and pans."
Just don't miss the moment.
Don't miss God.
For God walks among the pots and pans, however clean or dirty.
So stay awake.
