HOW MANY MIRACLES

Siting out on the porch last night
1saw a firefly
A tiny hight against the smokey green
of the fat cedars.
And t made me wonder
How many other miracles
Are out there?

1 chimbed up and down
Three stairs today
But my legs aren't supposed
To be able to work
And t made me wonder
How many other miracles
Can | pull off

One day | was taking
To my grandson about
A candy called a blackball
That we had when | was a kid
You pop it n your mouth for a while
Then you take it out
And ts orange
And the look of amazement
On hs face
Made me wonder
Was that a miracle to him?

Every day. if we pay attention,
‘We will sec these miracles
They're out there
The small bunny who lives 1
Under our deck
And 1s no longer afraid of us
The incredible rainbow of colour
In the garden,

Where yesterday
There was only brown dirt
The Red- Tailed Hawk
That shows up
On the phone pole across the street
And stares at me
‘With his head cocked to one side
Then caws and flies away

It all makes me wonder

How mary miracles
Can we cram into a single day?

Any Colour But Dull

The act of engaging a process can be tedious but it is elevated by meaning, in effect there is a delayed gratification as the process is constructed, because one can envision the value that process then adds once it is in place.  Even where the expectation falls short, the vision ...
