miracles

Miracles
Ever wonder why miracles are needed in the first place? How come the events of our lives sometimes desire that extra big bonus of hope, help and happiness? Yet when something unexpected comes around and changes the course of our lives we celebrate, wiping off the sweat of a furrowed brow, release the pain which held tightly to our temples, breathe a deep desired breath and shout loudly what a miracle!

Tis the season we are told of Miracles. We hang our lights on the tree, or gather eight of them on the menorah. We recount the birth of a man with the promise for all humankind or remember when humankind was adrift in slavery and how that sadness changed for the better. Then some of us recall this time of year when humankind can watch the days fade into night earlier and how the night can cradle us with a glow of a fire, the warmth of a blanket, the love of family and friends.

Miracles
They never happen on schedule and actually like to surprise you, eliciting  a laughter so deep in the belly that when released it seems miraculous enough.They never are posted on your calendar, or to do list, instead find their way to the front of the line in a most miraculous manner. They are many times imagined, but when they appear they are deliciously hard to imagine.

We wish you a reason for a miracle or two this season. We want you to find your own surprises,  promises or passion for a celebration of miracles. Let them be as loud as you desire or as calm and quiet as you need. Let them be bold, brash and brilliant or so subtle that it takes keen eyesight and sharp listening to see and hear them. We wish you the kind of miracle you want!

Happy Holidays/Season’s Greetings,
