The other day, I asked what was the largest thing you could imagine. Today, I’m wondering how small we can imagine. Motes of dust, grains of sand, atoms of breath going in and out of our bodies, electrons spinning around nuclei, charm quarks. Imagine all of the unbelievably tiny parts that make you up.
Think small, and ground yourself in the reality of being.
Everything around us seems to be working to keep us all off-center. Imagine the center of your being. Imagine being grounded in that center. Imagine what you need to resist the forces pushing you out of that place of spiritual groundedness.

Our spiritual ancestors could not imagine a loving God worth worshipping who was not able to forgive even the most egregious evil perpetrated by humanity. Now, I know that many people have a problem imagining this kind of forgiveness being readily available, especially for acts of great evil and people whose lives seem to embody a readiness to commit evil deeds. And yet, that’s precisely the point—that the love of God is greater than we can imagine. Bigger than the human imagination. Almost unfathomable.

Imagine a glass of cold water – feel it. Take a sip, feel the coolness run down your throat. Feel the water enter your body. Feel it pick up the things that you no longer need and cleanse them away from you. What is it washing away?
What do you need to get rid of? How can you imagine it gone?
