God seems to have hidden holiness and wholeness in a secret place where only the humble will find it. ~ Richard Rohr, Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps (p. 2).

Legends, fables, parables.
Truths are found in simple stories
complex enough their verity
remains hidden for some,
to others seems so obvious
it can’t have real value,
for some takes on enchantment
for being unique, unexpected,
special. Why would a Power
go to the trouble to surprise us
with special facts, to make us look,
lead us to wonder, entice us to explore?
Is it not because that which comes easily
seems mundane, ordinary, inconsequential?
Thank you, Power, for knowing me
and how I need to find your astounding gifts.
