That we can embark upon the building of relationships,
The forming of sometimes life long connections
that follow us through forests and open spaces
In light filled moments and periods of desolation…
that speak without words and hold without embrace.
That we can welcome another into the sometimes well defined and secured perimeter of ourselves,
Saying “yes” to risking – to striving for a richer, deeper meaning,
Longing for what might yet be
While still honoring what is.
This is what it is like to reside in
places of miracle:
Witnessing the extraordinary event that manifests divine intervention in human affairs;
The wonder, the marvel, the unusual event or thing;
The accomplishment that is
the everyday, the ordinary
That is revealed simply and remarkably through
the living of life.
