Miracle of Existence

Peeking through a telescope creates an awareness of truth. The huge orbs which  encircle my existence, the Sun which illuminates many planets and stars and the immeasurable energy flowing through humbles me.

I’d forgotten how fortunate I am to just exist – caught up in the daily drama of life. The fact that we live on a spinning ball of rock in a constantly changing cosmos is awesome enough. This body which is less than a speck in the universe moves, thinks and assumes authority to analyse and decide.

Our existence needs to be celebrated every day, not just on birthdays.

 moved by miracles
 hearts beat louder, but get lost
in energy flow
