An Ordinary Gift


I am always on the lookout for the interesting and unusual locked inside of ordinary experiences. These become extraordinary moments that punctuate my life... a ray of light,  reflections in a table top,  the elegant movement of an arm, a swirl of fabric in a dancer's dress... elements that seem so ordinary on the surface bless me with amazing joy as I focus my attention on them.

It is like unwrapping a gift. At first I am sitting alone waiting for my iced tea, wrapped up in my thoughts, and then I see the reflection of the sky in the tines of the fork and bricks in the blade of a knife and the gift unfolds.
