Feed Your Pets, Your Plants, Your Spirit

The animals are innocents. The plants, if you have taken them from the earth and put them in your house, then feed them and care for them too. Now your spirit. Big taking. It is very hard to be true to your spirit when everything around you effects you, no matter how many deflectors or filters you have. Then there are your obligations, your responsibilities. You work to live and live to work as 'they' say. You have chores to do and miracles to behold simultaneously. Not an easy thing. It is very much a matter of choice...and surprisingly enough, the chores can be done and the miracles can be beheld at the same time. But 'miracles' are missed on a daily basis by many. What exactly is a miracle anyway? To me it is something that is just spectacular, beautiful, or amazing. It is a shooting star, a perfect rainbow. It is when the thing you NEED, shows up in a form you don't recognize. It is when all of Lance Armstrong's cancer disappears through will or some unknown reason no one will ever know. It is a perfect song, a blue bird, a honeybee. It is the love you share with yourself when you allow yourself the time and then experience the peace that follows. It is simply sitting outside and in utter amazement experience the perfection of the world we know in its design. But we, as human beings, with all of our emotional vastness and complexities and traumas, forget to...just BE.
