The Car Wash

In class this week, a student recalled an experience she had with her 4 year old grandson. They made a date to go to the car wash and of course be inside the car as it went through the ritual of soap, water and much scrubbing and blowing. The child was enchanted. My student said she engaged her "inner -4 year old" and the experience became something magical once again.

A simple moment transformed into something wondrous and delightful! How full of grace that moment was for both. It just may be our "solemn duty" to reach for the awesome every day.
