The Unseen
There is power all around.
Bare feet on grass. Unseen are the thousands of roots connecting blade to blade, making thick turf.
A quenching glass of water. Unseen, the water seeping up through the spring from which it was drawn.
❖
A stroke of luck. Unseen, the careful sequence of loving events you arranged to make it so.
Grace, unseen yet always present.
Grant me awareness, Lord, of what I cannot see.
Let me be grateful for the unseen.

Consider:
What forces can I not see?
