Try opening yourself to that spaciousness right now in your life.  Start small.  Keep at it.  Devotion, after all, does not come quickly.  Take a slow-walk in your neighborhood, or through a nearby park.  Practice looking at what is to be seen. Trust entering the solitude that you might glimpse along the way.  Patiently. Imaginatively.  As your heart-work.  Think of making yourself spacious enough to receive this given moment in your life, with all its promises. Call this soul-hospitality. Call it God. Call it home.—Christine Valters Paintner
