seemingly mundane things - . Clouds. Rivers. Seeds

[Gabrielle Dean]

During this brief liturgical season of Epiphany  between Christmas and Lent, we’re invited to leave miraculous births and angel choirs behind, and seek the love, majesty, and power of God in seemingly mundane things.  Rivers.  Voices.  Doves.  Clouds.  Holy hands covering ours, lowering us into the water of repentance and new life.  In the Gospel stories we read during this season, God parts the curtain for brief, shimmering moments, allowing us to look beneath and beyond the ordinary surfaces of our lives, and catch glimpses of the extraordinary.  Which is perhaps another way of describing the sacrament of baptism, in which the "extraordinary" of God's grace blesses the ordinary water we stand in.

How “ordinary" are seeds?
