Everyone is home now. My son is safe and recuperating nicely. I'm back at work and everything is just like it always is.
....except it's not.
It's not at all.
I keep looking around in shocked disbelief, as if I'm in some surreal world where nobody sees what is obvious to me. The Divine working around us all, in us all. Being connected to that Divine, feeling it coursing through everything and the affects of that Divinity....healing in days what takes weeks, months or never.
Day after day, I want to stand on a soap-box or at the top of a peak and shout "Behold what She has wrought!" The more I am aware, the more frequently I see them, which makes me more aware yet. Every day this spiral continues and I am more grateful, thankful and astounded.
And yet...the people in this world muddle along, apparently oblivious to the awesome and incredible things which are going on right under their noses. That miracles happen around us is ignored. That they happen with frequency and are unseen borders on willful blindness.
But once you see it, you cannot unsee it. Once you know, you cannot turn back to how you used to be.
Thank you, Dad....for her, for him, for all of this.
How do people not see? Lots of times people do not see the miracles because they are too busy, tired, wound up living their lives. They often do not realize when they are in the presence of a miracle, because the crippled did not walk and the blind do not see. They aren't looking for Miracles they are looking for "magic" of a sort that does not exist. People don't understand that the miracle of the loaves and fishes was the ability to get everyone to share, not a creation of food that did not exist before.
ReplyDeleteAlso Miracles do not always work. If they did then they would be just the way things are, not a miracle. Most people are looking for: an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause. And don't understand when it is just: a wonder; marvel.
Another thing here is how do you now get along in the world now that you see the connections without being locked up in a loony bin?
Sometimes when life is interesting enough you can go back to not seeing this stuff. Sometimes when things are desperate enough and the miracle is not happening for you it's kinda hard to see the connections and such. Thank you. You are helpful in returning my vision, faith? Well. . . we'll see.
