Like a breeze

A friend sent me this quote today:

It was only a small wind
rather gentle, like a breeze.
It blew a strand of hair across my forehead
and I knew that it was God.

-Macrina Weiderkehr

It so perfectly summed up my view of the world and of God. To recognize the beautiful and infinite wonder of Him, to me, is the greatest gift. How many people ever slow down enough to appreciate His gentle creations? I hope I never get so caught up with things that I forget to be this present.
