small miracles



Today I wish you small miracles
as you go about your waking day.

A blue sky, pure white clouds and green leaves sunlit.
A sparrow hopping in the shadow at the Buddha's feet.
The community cat meows back when you greet it.
The bus is not late, in the train someone offers you a seat.

Do not question if there are small miracles.
Expect them, waking up in the morning is one.

So true. Miracles don't have to be loud and splashy; they happen at every moment in quiet ways.

What a wonderful world it would be if all of us contributed each day to other people's received small miracles...

shaun,

we tend to take things for granted, don't we? :)

That's a wonderful thought. :)

Good thoughts! I especially like "the community cat." So many cats aren't feral so much as they're not bound to a particular household.

Thank you, Priscilla.

Some of our "community cats" are really well looked after. There are kind residents who feed them, and clean up after their meals. The past laws do not allow cat ownership in public housing, but recently it has been changed to allow cat ownership with some restrictions.
