“Around us, life bursts forth with miracles – a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as quickly as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of other beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life’s daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.”
—— Thich Nhat Hanh
Jon, I commend you for doing your best to lift the spirits of your readers of your blog. In such times of terrible strife given the actions of a president who is stripping his nation of support and the very infrastructure of their lives, old age pensioners, people with disabilities, educational institutions, libraries, health care and angering other nations as well, you are trying to keep us focused on the good in life, not only with your pictures but your words. Bless you for doing this.
