“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
― Mother Teresa

Labor Day
None of us are self-sufficient – we all depend on the work of others for our comfort and our daily survival. Whatever the work you do, perhaps you can take a moment this Labor Day to honor all the ways in which the work others engage in contributes to your well-being.
What work would you love to do? What work are you really grateful someone else takes on, and you don’t have to?

While we can’t manage such feats with our eyes, we are gifted with a different kind of vision that allows us to see beneath surfaces, to pick up feelings that don’t match with people’s words, or to find significance in the everyday objects and events around us.
How have you recently used your ability to see through surfaces to something deeper below?
