Always we begin again.

This great line is from the Rule of St. Benedict. And never has it rung so true. Here I am beginning again--starting a website and a blog. I never thought I would do this but I'm hearing those great words from our sacred text "Behold I'm creating all things new." I suppose that even includes me!
More importantly, this is a great line to meditate on, recognizing that each day is new--cultivating what some call "Beginner's mind." How can we see each person, thing, creation as new? How can we have fresh eyes? My children see in a different way: each day they wake up ready to take on the day--seeing it as new, not even connected to the days of the week. It's just a day full of opportunity, blessedness, and fun!
Join me in praying this prayer and seeing the world through new eyes.
"What has God wrought?"
"Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is in the Lord.
They shall be like a tree planted by the water, sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes, and the leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought, it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17
