They surround us, often overlooked and disregarded. They are all around us in every moment. Every day you are given is a gift to unwrap, to discover, to tap into. The miracle of breath alone is fascinating. The blood pumping through your body while your heart pounds in rhythm to the pulse of the earth, it is unbelievable majestic.
Mountains, clouds, birds, creatures of all kinds.
Water. Oh, the water. The reflection off the water feeds your soul, it’s like your eyes breathe it in and become part of it. If you think about it, really stop to think about it; Our lives are like the sea.
The calm, the storm. The shallow, the deep. The force within, the force without. The body. All different shapes and sizes, no two alike. Celebrate this diversity, know that all has been part of a meticulously laid out plan.
Give into the wonderment, the awe. Live your life with your eyes open. Make eye contact, skin contact. Shake hands, embrace. Listen when others speak, really listen, lean in.
These are the everyday miracles. These are the conch to the shell, the tusk to the walrus, the leaf to the tree. The breath to your body.
