                Nowist Miracles

Stop running from calm and silence.

Feel the miracle in every moment of the 'now'...

in the mystic curve of a fine crescent moon
in the boundless wonder of a star-swept sky
in the hidden consciousness of an ancient forest
in the rocks and mountains that talk against time
in the trackless wander of the desert sands
in the breathless majesty of the deepest sea
in the veiled mystery of every drop of dew and
  blade of grass
in the lovely dance of each flake of snow ...

and know that this grand universe is unfolding
as it should!

Each line is a mantra opening images which can free an encumbered mind.

Extraordinary and enlightening passages Mr. Adams.

Bravo!

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

And even only reading your thoughts, awe fills the heart.

Very beautifully said, dear Bruce.
