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

The Whole World

This quote is worth your admission for the week!

I have a miracle in small letters to relate to you.

This winter here on the west coast of Canada, in Beautiful British Columbia, has been more severe than our usually mild climate provides. As the big freeze came on my fish pond in the garden started to freeze over. This has happen many times in the eight years I’ve had the pond. However, as the snow continued to fall, even with the water pump running, the ice began to take over.

One morning I went down to the pond to discover to my dismay that the pump had stopped working and all was ice. After that came another freeze and even more snow, burying the fish pond completely. This had not happened before.

When I first dug the pond I went down 3.5 feet so that the goldfish could survive most winters. But the water pump that circulates and filters the water had never stopped working in those other years. For the pump to have stopped it would mean that the ice had made it pretty much to the bottom of the pond.

Fast forward almost six weeks. I’d resigned myself to the loss of my gold fish. A friend told me they had lost theirs.

As the thaw began and the ice melted away, I could see I needed to top up the pond. So I turned on the hose and let it run.I turned the pump back on which to my surprise started pumping again.

A few hours later, because I forgot to turn off the hose, I dashed back to the house to close the tap. Imagine my surprise to find all my goldfish up and swimming around!

That is a miracle.

It is a retelling in small letters of the miracle in large letters written across the whole world: Life abounds, is remarkably tough and adaptable even in extreme circumstances. We loose site of this wonder amid the gloom and doom prophecies of our time.

Which doesn’t mean we can ignore the threats to our planet, but that we keep in mind the large letters of the miracle of life.
