Everyday Comfort

Today’s Reflection

I am comforted by the everyday things around me, all things wild and beautiful and beyond understanding. I affirm that they are very good, which does not surprise me. . . [Everything] reflects God to us if we pay attention.

—Roberta C. Bondi, Wild Things: Poems of Grief and Love, Loss and Gratitude (Upper Room Books, 2014)
