Noticing Small Everyday Miracles

If you are setting intentions for the week and working on improving your mindset, a reminder to focus all that you have, your breath, your family, friends, the people who have your back. The line that I sometimes repeat in my head when I feel myself slipping into a negative mindset is the last line of this poem.

Have a great week, one with everyday miracles!

Miracle

When on grazed knees

you sink?

begging for a miracle

Raise your eyes to the left

and see the people in your life

the random meetings in what?

were billions of?

statistical opportunities?

yet you stumbled on this one?

that holds your heart?

even

if it was briefly

Raise your eyes to the right

and see that all you ever needed

has been there for you

even when you couldn’t see it

the earth?

has never withdrawn her support

Look inward and notice?

when you breathe

that tiny?

moment?

of nothingness

as you breathe out?

your body decides

to breathe in again

and that each morning you awake

with a clean slate?

to break the patterns?

of your self-created incarceration

You too are the flower

that chose to bloom?

in the only chink?

within the concrete

and you think you need a miracle
