When do we "see" God? I see the Holy One in the faces of those who surround me, each unique yet sharing in our common humanity and striving after God. I see God in the miracles of nature, each day a surprise bringing awe and wonder. I see God in these words, which you are now reading, appearing on my computer screen, coming from somewhere inside my head, a gift of mind. I see God in my children, the greatest gift I have ever known, who bless me each and every day. I sense the glory of God in my love for my wife, my life partner and soul mate. I even see God in life's ugliness and tragedy, which call on us to be even more human as we repair the brokenness and pain.

Where does God appear? Wherever and whenever we make room and open our eyes.
