Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
Sometimes we walk around in our daily life oblivious to the gifts that are all around us. A bird chirping a beautiful love song or an
orchestra of song birds singing in unison.
The butterfly that flits from flower to flower catches our attention if only for a brief passing second if we even notice it at all.
Flowers stretching and reaching for the sun that dries the dew that has formed upon their petals.
The insects who toil their day away moving earth, cleaning away the dead and dying, gathering food and building shelters.
Dolphins that play in the surf and dance in the waves, these creatures intrinsically know that life is meant to enjoy.
If we would just be; be one with our surroundings, without trying to order and categorize it, seeing without looking, hearing without
listening, we would find ourselves surrounded by the beautiful gifts that are rarely noticed.
It is another world that goes on whether we are a part of it or not. It doesn’t care what is in the headlines; it just is.
In this world we can find ourselves, we can become one with the life force that is inside of us.
Take time to open the gifts that are presented before you, but they are not wrapped in pretty paper and bows; they are wrapped in
the colors of the rainbow and fragrance of flowering trees. Behold the beauty that is.
Welcome to Today. Your post was relaxing to read. A nice way to start my morning
