Grandeur and Splatters of Disappointment

Isn't it here? The wonder? Why do I spend so much of my living hours struggling to see it? Do we truly stumble so blind that we must be affronted with blinding magnificence for our blurry soul-sight to recognize grandeur? The very same surging magnificence that cascades over our every day here. Who has the time or eyes to notice?

All my eyes can seem to fixate on are the splatters of disappointment across here and me.

-- Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts


From a wonderful read on finding the gratitudes that need to be found in the mundanes of daily living. Thanks, Veisa, for sharing this book with me.
