epiphany january 23

I began this day with orange juice and Mary Oliver.

Oliver wrote, Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed.  

I am often aware of being blessed. Certainly I’m aware of being blessed when I’m standing in surroundings that shout “Blessed!”

Oliver’s words suggest to me that I am blessed often – wherever I stand. I just don’t make note of it.

Yet, it is huge. Think about it. There is no need to seek out being blessed. I already am. We all are. Right where we stand.
