In the morning, I see sunlight

The pillow feels cold on my cheek
But my body is warm under the blankets
No alarm
Just quiet

Glug glug \u2013 flushing toilet
Chush chush \u2013 brushing teeth
Splash splash \u2013 washing face

In the afternoon, I see mountains

The mask feels sticky on my face
But my body is refreshed by the fall breeze
No variation
Just uphill

Thud thud \u2013 running feet
Whiz whiz \u2013 driving car
Peh peh \u2013 breathing runners

In the evening, I see faces

The chair feels stiff against my back
But my body is relaxed among friends
No in-person interaction
Just Zoom

Chi chi \u2013 hearing background noise
Ding ding \u2013 receiving notifications
Bwahah bwahah \u2013 echoing laughter

In the meantime, I see You<\/p>\r\n

Lord, I see you in the sunlight, the mountains, and the faces of my friends. Please awaken me to your beauty and goodness. Thank you, my Sweetness, my Savior, for redeeming the tooth brushing and the Zoom calling and everything in between. Come revive this world, and revive this heart. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\r\n
