"Resting in the grace of the world"

Today something is just well with my soul. I feel like a tiny little drum band is playing inside my heart. I can't trace exactly why it's happening, but it's such a nice little surprise.

It's making me think of all the little things that we take joy in, and how good God is to give us such tiny blessings. For me I can feel all the pleasures of green tea in my cup, a peanut butter english muffin this morning, beautiful girlfriends, an amazing love and the crisp fall weather that caused me to put on tights today.

This world is a good one - contrary to what we hear in the news, from our griping inner monologues or our unsatisfied hearts. True, there is always more to want, strive and hope for, but today, I find inexplicable joy in the now-ness of today.

Or as Wendell Berry says:
"I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. "

I am where I am. No more, no less. And the view is beautiful.
