Finer Perceptions

"The miracles of the church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always."
(Willa Cather in Death Comes for the Archbishop)
I like that. Trying to open my eyes, ears and heart to that which is about me always, but I don't always allow myself to recognize amidst all the chaos of the day....
