i think there’s a beauty to be found in ordinary time
we often see ordinary time as “boring” as opposed to lent or easter
but during ordinary time, Jesus, the son of God, was doing normal things just like what you and me do
Did he talk walks and with joke with his disciples between preaching? Did he ever visit Our Lady and check up on her? Did he cook with his disciples and pray with them?
think about it. there’s beauty in knowing that

“A mystical experience would be wasted on me. Ordinary things have always seemed numinous to me. One Calvinist notion deeply implanted in me is that there are two sides to your encounter with the world. You don’t simply perceive something that is statically present, but in fact there is a visionary quality to all experience. It means something because it is addressed to you. This is the individualism that you find in Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. You can draw from perception the same way a mystic would draw from a vision. It’s not an acquired skill. It’s a skill that we’re born with that we lose. We learn not to do it.”
