Every Moment

Miracles in every moment

There are miracles in every moment if you’ll just take the time to see them. There is value in every circumstance if you’ll simply make the effort to appreciate it.

Even on the most ordinary and tedious days there are magnificent and extraordinary treasures to be lived.

They are yours when you open your mind and your heart to the possibilities.

There is no need to long for some distant bright day on which everything will be perfect. For you can make this very day as bright and shining and fulfilling as you choose.

Open your eyes and realize what a miracle it is that you know you are here. Choose in this very moment to make the most of your awesome good fortune.

The wind blows, the sun rises, the snow falls and the ocean relentlessly pounds the shore. Life rolls on with fresh new possibilities at every turn.

There are miracles in every moment. What a privilege and joy it is to be a part of life.
— Ralph Marston


This week's trip to RMNP -  I love the duality of this photo; the dark trees against the bright sun

Trail to Sky Pond, which unfortunately is still not accessible due to snow

Approaching Loch Lake

An afternoon storm rolls in and the river rises, full of power
The beautiful darkness of an afternoon storm
 
 The root of all miracles lies in nature, in creation. Whenever I have doubts, whenever I'm lost, whenever I'm confused, nature reminds me that not everything is in my control, the troubles and worries are of no real significance. Everything in place is the result of divine timing, of divine circumstance...from the tilt of the Earth that gives us our seasons and turbulent atmosphere, to the expanses of this universe and beyond that we have no comprehension of. Every life and existence has its battles within this grand design and that is what gives us life.
