The Common Day

We live today by the commonality of our virtues. Virtues are things we
seldom think about but use within every second of time on our focus of
life. The choices made from the moments we awake to even in our
dreams. Virtues are what give us the energy to continue life's
motions. I, as a common person, find myself facing new virtues
everyday. I find new virtues growing within my soul daily. To
understand what it takes to fulfill our daily lives with grace means
understanding ones inner self. The start of ones life gives us the
negative aspects, called birth, before we understand the world around
us. Like the parents before them our parents began to shelter and
enforce our dependency, thus shaping our virtues. The virtues begin to
form silently from the first time we focus on an object in this common
world.
