Ordinary Miracle

The days are thick with haze, and sunlight speckled with pollen flurries. The leaves are inward, almost upside down as they are tossed about on the hot breeze. The clouds are cumbersome, heavy with humidity and the clammy hot dampness is on every surface. I sat by the brook which due to the rain has a flow again - but not for long as the heat of the day puts it to rest. The water reaches as far as it can until it it can't stretch any further.
Life is like that some times - stretching ourselves until there is nothing left and we have to rest, stop and wait for the next energy flow to sustain us and move us along. And those sources are every where. I find the first source is my core, my essence that is resilient and truthful and always has motivation to continue. I am surrounded by many external energy sources - love and laughter, music and books, nature and food, wine and water, oh and so much more. Each providing sustenance - nourishment - hope - peace- beauty - strength - power - passion - and I need only be open, vulnerable, truthful, and take no more than I need. Sounds so simple. And most days it is. There are times when life's challenges seem larger than every resource available to me - that's because some times things have to be broken down in to doable increments. I forget that at times.
And so like the brook, which is so sluggish and drained. It has reached as far as it can and now must wait and believe and have faith that the energy will flow again - that it will move along and clear and build momentum. That all that it needs will be provided.

I heard a saying once, "Don't give up five minutes before the miracle happens"



I hope you enjoyed the song. One of my favorites.

Peace and miracles
