Amazement

I am always amazed at the things that are possible in this world.  So many more things than most of us ever dream could ever happen to us.

And whether they happen because I dream them or I dream them because they are about to happen or even ARE happening, does not matter.

The sweetness in life always seems to be waiting right in front of me, ready to be picked and enjoyed if I am willing.

And it hasn’t really changed much since I was a child.  Back then what I wanted most was compact connectedness!  I wanted the people I loved close.  Today that is possible no matter where we live.  In a few seconds we can text, or skype, or phone, or email with words and pictures and all sorts of live exchanges. 

Of course it’s not quite the same thing as a real hug, but it is the very next best thing.

And if I believe that spirit, or soul exists, then our closeness supercedes the barriers of time and distance in ways too wonderful to comprehend.

I am surrounded by lovers, those people who understand that goodness and purity, joy and belief are the cornerstones of living.  I don’t understand why I am blessed this way, but I do know that I am so grateful.

And I never cease to be amazed by it.
