The ground is a sure thing. I take it for granted. I think we all do. It’s solid and stable; can give yet firm; consistent when you travel and familiar at home. It supports us, stabilizes us, orients our movement, holds us when we’re weak, catches us when we fall. Place your feet flat on the ground. Wiggle your toes in your shoes, or make a wave with your the muscles in your sole. Can you feel the support that’s there: support we often take so much for granted.
Mystics remind us that God is like the earth, the foundation under our feet: sure and steady, present wether we are or not. Be mindful of that today as you go through your day. Find strength in it. Take courage from it. You are not alone.
