engaging a miracle
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.
Every day we are engaged in
a miracle which we don't even recognize:
a blue sky
white clouds
green leaves
the black
curious eyes of a child
our own two eyes.
All is a miracle.

a question
Life is impermanent and uncertain. How much time do you have to waste?

in residence
As the pond I built behind my house goes into its second year of existence I remain impressed with the number of creatures that have taken up residence. There is a frog that croaks throughout the night and a dragonfly that jealously patrols the water's surface by day. Where these creatures came from is a source of puzzlement to me. There are no other ponds near my house, however there is a small stream in the deep valley that runs down from the mountains. Somehow, they discovered my pond.
