I sometimes pause to wonder if I do justice in
my day-to-day life. Do I treat all the skirmishes and successes fairly and with
full appreciation? Do I do justice to all the occurrences that come along -- to even
the passing of cars on streets, to flowers falling over the top of a pot on a
table, to the look of the light in the moon? Do I treat them all with
attentiveness and earnest concern? Do I treat them fairly, giving each incident the kind of principled consideration each
one deserves? Most importantly, do I treat the moments of my day with full thankfulness,
focusing on the little miracles that live inside each one? We
speak of appreciating a work of art, which is precisely the sense in which I
should be grateful for the passing moments, those shimmering, irreplaceable creations in a cosmos
that works constant wonders.
