🔥 Kindling — Chapter 2: The Microscopic Cathedral

If the idea feels abstract, bring it close.

Start with the first question:

What’s the smallest detail in creation that has ever left you in awe?

If nothing comes to mind, that’s okay.

Look closer.

Pick something small:

the lines in your hand,
a grain of wood,
dust floating in sunlight,
the texture of a leaf,
the way light hits a surface.

Stay with it longer than you normally would.

Don’t rush past it.

Now ask:
What do I notice that I usually ignore?

Move to the next question:

How might paying attention to “tiny sermons” change the way you see your daily life?

Think about your normal pace.

How often do you move past things without seeing them?

Choose one shift:

slow down your walk,
pause before moving to the next task,
look twice instead of once.

Let something small interrupt your routine.

That interruption is the point.

Now consider:

Where might the Divine be inviting you to recognize holiness in what seems small or overlooked?

Think of something or someone you’ve minimized:

a routine moment,
a quiet person,
even a part of yourself.

What if it isn’t small…
just unseen?

You don’t need to find something extraordinary.

You need to notice what’s already there.

The cathedral was never hidden.

It was just waiting for you to look closer.
