Beautiful Mums: Photo by John Heydon

Somewhere far off the silence rings with the crystal clarity of quicksilver. Beneath the sounds you can always find it…waiting for your touch…a touch that brings magic…a touch only you have…a touch of soul to soul. When you find that silence and it opens up like a flower to engulf you… you are there…sight restore to the miracle.

Inspirational Quote of the Day

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

Pay Attention to the Miracle

Sometimes late at night I hear the rain tapping against my window pane. Such a simple sound really. Yet somehow just hearing the tapping of the rain blown against my window by the wind, I am transported some how to all the places where I have been and heard that strangely comforting sound.

For me there is never just another night of rain against my window: Every time is a fine outstanding miracle.

I have been commuting to work now for well over ten years.

People ask me how I stand to do that day in day out.

Again it’s simple really: no commute is ever the same…not once, not ever…no really.

The fact that we were born into the time we were born into, the fact that we have the lives we have, the friends we have, the family we have, they are all miracles.

I don’t think we give thanks often enough for all those treasures, each one new and unexpected, like the fresh dawning of a new day glowing in the rays of a new sun, on beautifully vibrant fields, and hills and trees, and valleys and mountains, all under a clear blue sky that goes on forever.

In Paulo Coelho’s words, “It’s just a matter of paying attention…”

Are you paying attention?

Every single moment of your life is special.

With Love

Inspirational Quote of the Day

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

Accept the Seasons of Your Heart

Joy and pain are both parts of the same coin. Without one the other cannot exist.

I like the analogy of the coin because it is easier to understand. On a coin you have the head, and the tail. You cannot take away the tail and sill have the head.

You can split the coin into the finest width and still you will have a head and a tail. So it is with all things.

The joy…and the pain come in accepting both sides…to really understand that you cannot have one without the other.

We tend to try and avoid pain…pain hurts…but.

Think of love…to avoid it’s pain means to never have loved.

To accept the pain that comes with the incredible joy of love means you can love.

Acceptance is the key and the ability to see both sides at once and as one.

You must let the pain break the shell so that understanding is free to flow and grow and flourish…so that you can truly stand in the sun.
