Happy Birthday to Me! The Miracle of Life!
Lately, I’ve been reading about mindfulness. I’m realizing at 31 (today is my birthday), that mindfulness and mental health are SO important. If you got your happiness on the inside, then you’ve got happiness on the outside, as I said in a previous blog post. On a side note, today is the coldest day of the year, -25 degrees F, and my flight just got cancelled. I’ve got to find some peace and acceptance on that. Anyway, back to the main point. Now, I’ve been pondering over my existence, and realizing that I’m much bigger part of a large existence than myself. That gives me peace, and realization that the miracle of life is a beautiful thing. Enjoy the poem below.
Life’s Miracle
In the galaxy, stars burst and grow
Black holes disappear and reappear
Earth revolves around the sun another day
The sun shines a beautiful bright ray
Snow lays on the ground, like a beautiful gloss tray
When you step back, take a look at it
Isn’t it so beautiful? Today and every day?
Existence as it may.
Nature as you see it.
Thousands of tiny particles, just the right conditions
Formed the beautiful earth we live in
Coincidences, bumping into each other
You better believe it.
Then thousands of minute decisions
That led to my creation
I’m grateful to be here
Alive in the greater universe I’m in
Part of this world so much bigger than I am
Stepping back and being grateful today
By taking a deep breath and celebrating the miracles of life today.
Instead of looking for a miracle, I’m creating one everyday
With gratitude and a sense of peace to believe
That my story is a miracle in itself
Because Life’s a Miracle.
