I love your imaginings of God occupying the mundane, observing our lives and waiting for us to notice him. Possibility speaks of new beginnings, just perfect for a new year. Thank you for sharing it, Ana Lisa, and the thoughtful TS Eliot poem. Both are greatly appreciated. x

Thank you so much Joy. I'm glad you found the poem and found me here! I know you're not someone that needs reminding of God's presence, but its so comforting to use the imagination in this way I find xxx

What a lovely vision of God. I am imagining Presence in my home - all around me - the Presence in whom “I live and move and have my being.” Thank you for including TS Eliot’s poem. It’s been a while since I read it. Shalom.

Thank you Maryella, so glad you came across this. Certainly the imagination is a powerful gift we've been given and we should use it for good, as a remembrance of the truths of which we need to remind ourselves.
