Lately, this is my prayer, my mantra, my song to the Divine. On my early (painfully early!) and quiet morning commute to work. Late at night when I have five minutes of “me time” after the kiddos are asleep and before I move eagerly to my bed. Enchant me, God. Enchant me. Delight me.
Sung, chanted, swayed to.
Enchant me.
I see me barefoot under the moonlight, softly swirling with the evening summer breeze. I see me in a long flowy skirt with my long hair against my shoulders moving through my day, with my children, with my husband, in our kitchen “decorated” with tiny handprints on the wall from superhero crusades, ants in our sugarbowl (again), laundry to be folded, floors to be swept……. with ease and sweetness and delight. Enchanted. Fully aware that all of this – ALL. OF. THIS. — is gift.
Enchant me. Right here. Right in the middle of my messy, busy, glorious life.

Watch the ants dance in your sugar bowl. You can observe your own enchantment right there in the middle of the hand prints and cookie crumbs. Your life IS gloriously enchanting! Thanks for sharing.

YES YES YES, Jan! You are so right! What’s often very funny is we’ll stop and watch ants doing their thing — in our kitchen, on our front steps — for a long time! Yes, it is quite glorious. I was looking at my 5 yr old son today as he sat on top of me and was telling me all about superheroes etc., and I was just smiling thinking “my goodness, who ARE you kiddo?! What a delight you are!”
