"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral."
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
All around us is embedded meaning, beauty, truth. This is because of Who God is. And He has created us to wonder, to discover, to engage His creation with the gifts we've been given. He'll give us the grace and inspiration for this journey. But we are free to choose, so He won't do the work for us.
Do you see rock piles in your life, or potential cathedrals? It all starts with vision, and hope. Let yourself dream, love, pray, and don't put off what you feel in your heart is essential.
