Ordinary Miracle







Anyone who knows me even a tiny bit, knows my intense love and appreciation for the gift of nature. This Christmas my husband gave me my most favorite gift, perhaps of all time, the lyrics to Sarah McLachlan's (a favorite artist of mine), Ordinary Miracle song. The lyrics are posted below, but if you have time time listen to the song, click on the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urv7tyeJ7qE
Ordinary Miracle
It’s not that unusual
When everything is beautiful.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

The sky knows when its time to snow,
Don’t need to teach a seed to grow.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday;
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own.

Isn’t it remarkable?
Like every time a rain drop falls,
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Birds in winter have their fling
But always make it home by spring.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away;
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we’re all a part
Of the ordinary miracle.

Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
ohh ohh ohh, ohhh ohh ohh...
It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.
ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohhh ohh...
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Hello. I am a friend of our mutual friend Toirdhealbheach Beucail at The Forty-Five - (we worked together in Petaluma). I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your postings - they always make me think, and sometimes move me to tears.
I started my own blog with the New Year and so far have two posts. In re-reading your post from Dec. 27 I realize it must have touched a nerve spurring me to write my second post about my religion.
So, thank you for being you - keep writing!
