Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary

We live in a world of theophanies.
Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary.
There are burning bushes all around you.
Every tree is full of angels.
Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb.
Life wants to lead you from crumbs to angels,
but this can happen
only if you are willing to unwrap the ordinary
by staying with it long enough
to harvest its treasure.
