Day 318: Too familiar?

Today's Reading: Luke 24, John 20-21

Has the "beauty of the earth"
and the "glory of the skies"
become for me
too familiar--
an expected grace--
like food on my table
and warmth in my bed
so much so
that I have lost
the awe
and wonder
and gratitude?

Has the joy of friendship
and the love of family
become for me
too familiar--
an expected gift--
so much so
that I forget
to cherish
to speak
my gratitude?

Has the suffering of Christ
and the miracle of resurrection
become for me
too familiar--
an expected season--
so much so
that I forget
the cost
the extreme surprise
the gratitude?

Has the splendor of the ascension
and the power of the King of Kings
become for me
too familiar--
an expected presence--
so much so
that I forget
to be dumb struck
to kneel and bow
in gratitude?
