Intertwined

I think a lot about miracles… How our our life and miracles intertwine. How those things we can't explain….and those we can have a link to the Divine. It begins for all of us the day we're born…with the miracle of our birth. The miracle of how we find ourselves upon this planet Earth. From there the rest is easy…all we have to do is look around for everywhere we look…miracles abound. On my walk this morning…I hand't traveled very far when I looked up through the darkness to see a shooting star! The crickets' song was floating on an early morning breeze. accompanying the crickets were two owls…singing from the trees. I touched the water in the bay…tasted the salt upon my tongue… with every breath I took I felt the air fill up my lungs. I passed the bookstore where I work…and where I've often found not only in the pages of the books but in the store itself…do miracles abound. I passed the hospital where miracles are performed and wished for every day. I passed the church with a Peace Pole at its entrance… where inside….for miracles we pray. I began and ended my walk at my home… where Deborah was sleeping and where our family grew…. and I had to stop and smile thinking…this house has seen a miracle or two. Yes, each day I am alive…I am blessed to find… I live in a world where my daily life and miracles intertwine.
