Miracles all Around Us
Hmmm ... well I haven't blogged much lately, and don't plan to type much here. I was just in the mood to post this great song by Sarah McLachlan, "Ordinary Miracle". The lyrics are so wonderful - so insightful. McLachlan is so superb - one of my favorite pop singers really.
Mary Joseph, a United Church minister for whom I have great respect, featured this McLachlan song in her Sunday gathering recently. It lined up with her ongoing emphasis on recognizing the joy and love and delightful realities of life all around us. It is all about "bringing heaven to earth" as she puts it. Heaven is all around us. All we have to do is connect with it. Mary really gets that message across to people, as Sarah McLachlan does in the song.
And isn't it so true!
Here's Sarah ... (a bit of a miracle herself really):

Jenny and I are great fans of Sarah too, and quite disgusted at her former husband, even while impressed and pleased at her renewing of spirit - a token of the miracle of which she sings.Thanks for this blog. Wish it had more links to your poetry. Why not make a mention of Smoke and Salt?
Thanks for your comment. Yes ... I could put up some of those links, I suppose. Good suggestion.And yes, Judson and I felt sad about Sarah's marriage break-up as well. She is so amazing ... obviously was really thrown by it.
I feel sad for her husband too. We don't know the full story. I expect he has or is or will experience a lot of misery over it too.
Life can be messy, but as you and Sarah and Mary Joseph suggest ... the miracles and possibilities are still there ... the exquisite snowflakes, the elegant raindrops, the seeds which inevitably burst forth with growth.
Life goes on ... miraculously....
