Today, I stood near the water and watched it move, steady, unhurried, and carrying the quiet rhythm God placed within it. The light rested on its surface, and each small ripple seemed to whisper peace to my soul. As I listened to the water meeting the shore, I felt at home. 

I’m learning to notice these moments, the ones in which creation becomes a gentle reminder of God’s presence. 

In the beauty that surrounds me, in the rhythm of the water, in the breath moving through my body and in the stillness opening within me, 

I am right where I need to be.
