Miracles
happen every day. You can look for them high & low but you just need to
observe them right in front of you. Sometimes if you sit still they will find
you. The difference between miracles & everyday life is your acknowledgement.
They are one & the same.
One day
awhile back, I was having a doldrummy day…not a bad day, but darkish outside,
more cloudy than sunny, looking out the windows for a glimpse of a good time to
take a walk with my dog…and that’s when my miracle happened. As I looked out my
window for the second time, there to my delight was not just one pretty bird to
make me smile, but a whole tree full! No, not like Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The
Birds’, but more like a collection from Noah’s Ark. The entire tree was a
flutter with a rainbow of colors. I didn’t have just one beautiful bird, nor a
pair of feathered friends, but my own personal aviary of a bird of every color.
I was mesmerized. It was so exciting I couldn’t move. There were blue jays,
cardinals, goldfinches, cedar waxwings, orioles, sparrows, nuthatches and wrens
just to name a few. It looked like they were dancing from branch to branch. It
was like a Christmas tree in the springtime.
I turned my head for a moment looking for
someone to tell. Where’s the camera? Perhaps if they were patient I could find
a moment to take a photo. As quickly as
I turned my head back they were gone. There was no proof it happened; but it
did. I knew it happened, photo or not. It’s in my mind & heart forever.
Every time I
think of it, it makes me smile still. Now that’s a real miracle.
