Awareness is a tender place of connection in our daily search for God and God’s search for us. This chapter’s stories describe simple yet life-altering tender places that guide us to deeper insights and discovery of the sacred in our everyday lives.

In those present-moment experiences, our own spirits join with our Creator’s in ways that we cannot fully explain, only experience and relish.
