Simple Enchantment

Well I have finally crawled out of my hole having shed all the tears I could after the Jayhawks went down in flames to the Spartans of MSU. We can put THE CHANT on the shelf until until next season. Wait, my Tambourine Dance Team members so enjoy THE CHANT each week before practice that it is a must to get the ole juices flowing. Now some of the gals hate THE CHANT, others secretly admire (I think) THE CHANT and some think THE CHANT is kind of cool. But it does get the juices flowing one way or the other. So for my T.D.T. girls who get the privilege to hear it weekly they are blessed.

Have you ever noticed how simple things seem to have an enchantment about them? Take water falling over a rock. A rather simple thing yet we take millions of pictures each year of this simple event. Now I know that Niagara, Victoria, and the other 'biggies" are what we immediately think about when waterfalls are discussed. But how many waterfalls of 1-3 feet are photographed everyday. You see pictures of them all around. Pictures of brooks and streams and even drainage ditches earn pictures of water running over and down rocks and other objects. Why? Because they are enchanting to behold. Every waterfall is like a kaleidoscope. Each different than the others yet each encompassing the same elements. Lest someone thinks this is meaningless, why then do we construct waterfalls inside buildings or outside in our gardens? Simple, it is because of the enchantment factor. Standing before a 5 foot waterfall is nothing compared to the awesome, mighty Niagara. Yet both hold our attention through their enchantment. Simply water falling over a rock. Oh how this world is filled with enchantment through and through. Today, may I find enchantment in some simple thing I come upon.
