                            Miracles

Stop running from calm and silence.
Feel the miracle in every moment ...
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 breadth and majesty of the deepest sea
in the veiled mystery of every drop of dew and
  blade of grass ...
and know that this grand universe is unfolding
as it should!

I am sure this is true, Bruce. How fortunate you are to possess such wisdom.

Or, as it has been said by someone in the past, "Stop and smell the roses."

I love this, Bruce.  We complain about the small things, but, as you said, we need to see the world in both microcosm and macrocosm, but you said it so exquisitely.  I will be reading this many times.
