So often and especially this time of year, both reverence and gratefulness come forth from my ability to see. So I put together some words and collages of places, images, and/or ways that never fail to arouse reverence. As I sat looking out my window, I found great joy in finding the holy in the small and the sacred in the ordinary. Enjoy and count the ways reverence arises in your days.

the sacrosanct lay on spring’s flowery altars

the hallowed bloomed atop roses, old and new

the sanctified twined and climbed on sundry vines

the holy wafted forth from fragant berries and herbs

the sacred was carried on the wings of pollinators

the consecrated could be seen in a wide array of colors and hues

But I, by your(God’s) great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple. ~Psalm 5:7  ✝
