MIRACLES SURROUND ME

Miracles abound all around us.  There are times when I feel stuck in the mire of ‘everyday-ness’ and lose my awareness of amazement and wonder.  I rush around barely noticing the world that supports my being.  I become enmeshed in the internal turmoil of my mind and forget to see further than my own nose.  When I get lost in the illusion of my separate-ness and wrapped up in the drama I create, I find myself stressed out, anxious, discouraged, and uninspired.  Eventually I am stopped in my tracks and unable to continue moving forward.

Today, rather than wearing myself out in reactivity and busyness, I choose to slow down and notice the everyday miracles around me.  The refreshing touch of a cool, crisp breeze that invigorates my senses, the bright sunshine that dances on the surface of the water and warms my face, the clean air I breathe that energizes and nourishes my body, the presence of a creative life force that radiates everywhere I turn, the soul-connection I experience with all that is, has been, and ever will be; yes, miracles surround me this day.  I celebrate the real ‘everyday-ness’ that enfolds me now.
