“I waited in the kitchen and watched as a bright morning sun swept through the rooms. It would briefly catch on the part of the window that was not filthy, or a patch of carpet near the trim that had not been trampled by decades of stomping feet, and these things were transformed as if in some Cinderella story; dust particles shone like shooting stars caught in an upstream. I wanted to catch that light, to be purified in it and become a better version of myself.” HopeTransformationLongingRedemptionBeauty In The Ordinary Book:The Rider on the Bridge Source: The Rider on the Bridge
“One of the most profound choices we have is to sculpt the lens through which we experience our surroundings, the world. We can choose cynicism, a lens that dims the vibrancy of life, or we can choose wonder, a lens that magnifies the beauty in the ordinary. This choice shapes our reality...
