"Give yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything
you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you." - Wayne Dyer
Really, give yourself this gift. Please. At least today. Just five minutes. Be like the child you once were. Tune in to what's around you with all your senses. Listen, breathe deeply, smell. So much life. Look in all directions. You may discover something you have never noticed before.
During one Sanibel stay, standing in the water during low tide, Frank and I felt something underneath the sand. We dug a little with our toes and uncovered a few live sand dollars. Digging some more - gently - we discovered that the bed of them extended far and wide and deep. It seemed like a hundred million miracles - like the song goes - were happening, unseen, just below our feet.
Imagine how many
miracles are happening every minute of every day all around us, inside us.
Too often we tend to take life's many miracles for granted. Today, let's not.
With love and reverence,
Charlene
