It’s from “Children of the Mind” by Orson Scott Card. It’s part of a science fiction series that my dad and I enjoy. And I actually haven’t read this book yet. I just saw this phrase when my dad was reading one day and made note of it. ;)

It is easy for me to focus my gaze on the details of the daily and forget to raise my head and look at the eternal. Thank you for sharing.

As I was reading your post, I was reminded by this passage: “She worked her toes into the sand, feeling the tiny delicious pain of the friction of tiny chips of silicon against the tender flesh between her toes. That’s life. It hurts, it’s dirty, and it feels very, very good.”
