Awe in Everyday

Everyday, a blessing.

Everyday, precious.

Everyday, a jewel, priceless.

 

And Here I’ve found myself

in this body, a man

human

with an all-engulfing, inexplicable, ever-present

knowledge

that I’m more than flesh and bone

that this is but one precious part

of a bigger life

of a million moments

that I’ll live

love

have time to savour.

 

Everyday, magic.

Everyday, the majesty of a shooting star.

Everyday, a sparkling sunlit water-diamond.

 

And so, here I find myself.

Tied to the boat of this little life.

Bobbing with a gentle stellar breeze, unraveling in waves across the surface of space-time.

Rising with an ancient tide.

Knowing that what I am

is

more than what I see

peering back at me

in the bathroom mirror as I cut myself shaving.

Banal moments

full of endless time

endless meaning

depth

beyond comprehension.

 

Everyday, beauty.

Everyday, joyful possibilities.

Everyday.

 

If you can but seize the strings of

this day

of the moment

and pull yourself close

as if to embrace,

things slow down

and beauty

awe

an engulfing luminosity

finds you

and holds you, back.

 

Awe in everyday.
