Captivating

During scattered, unscheduled moments throughout the day

I’m giving myself permission to disengage from the tasks at hand.

I’m purposefully absorbing the beauty of my new surroundings.

I have quickly learned to be still and watch for movement.

Shifting shadows, a turn of a head, or a moving branch

can reveal life hidden in plain sight.

I just have to train my mind to see what casual glances miss.

The uniqueness and intricacy of God’s creation enlivens me.

The lavishness of His blessings causes my heart to sing.
