The Mundane is Sacred

The house was quiet.  I was alone in the kitchen, washing a cruddy pile of dishes that had stacked up. I looked down to grab the next one that needed attention and there, in the murky foam, was a message from Ruby. The tension of the day flowed from my shoulders.  I paused and enjoyed my discovery, hands wet and pruny.  I forgot how tired I was. I forgot that my feet hurt. I forgot whatever petty resentments had cluttered my mind only moments earlier.

My "I love you Dad" mug

Sometimes it's during these mundane tasks, when I let my guard down, when I least expect it, that I stumble onto the sacred.

I must always remember to accept these moments when they come, and enjoy them.
