Let us swing wide all the doors and windows of our hearts on their rusty hinges so we may learn how to open in love.

Let us see the light in one another and honor it, so we may lift one another on our shoulders and carry each other along.

Let holiness move in us so we may pay attention to its small voice and give ourselves fully with both hands.
~Dawna Markova

Miracles In The Minutia
Tiny, little specks of
white flecks…
flowers poking
through the crevice
of the public transportation train station.

I was filled with judgment
until that moment…
the things things that were not going right,
the person who had not set me up
for success…
the list of my complaints long.
Until that moment.

The flowers were not complaining
that they had to grow
in a crack,
in a crevice
on the edge of concrete
at a station
instead of in a beautiful field
with room to breathe and grow.

They were just being flowers.
Being beautiful
whether anyone cared
or noticed
at all.

I was one big complaint…
until that moment…
when I stooped down
and touched their magnificence
and was humbled to my core.
~Julia Butterfly Hill
