Today you experienced the biggest miracle of all.
Today you experienced the biggest miracle of all and most likely-- you missed it. You opened your eyes. You yawned. You took a deep breath. You turned over face down in your pillow.
You stretched your arms. You threw the covers off and felt the cool morning air. Your feet touched the floor. You walked. You turned the light on. Turned the radio on. You threw water on your face. You rubbed your eyes and you saw yourself in the mirror. You brushed your teeth, put your eyes in. You ran your fingers through your hair. You hummed to the music, singing every other word softly. You put on your socks, one at a time. You touched a tissue to your nose and blew. Your eyes teared. You got dressed listening to the weather. You moisturized and made up your face listening to traffic. You boiled water. Packed your lunch. Had your tea and toast. You walked out of your house. It was raining and you thought how shitty the weather has been lately. Your mind ran through a list of to-dos and must-get-done-todays. You forgot your water bottle and cursed because that would make you late. You unlocked your front door. You relocked it. You got into your car, not lifting your head up. You put the key in the ignition, started the car and hit defrost. You did your cross, part of the daily routine. You drove to work. You honked. You blew a red light. You cursed; all before 7 o'clock.
You didn't think today was a miracle. You didn't say thanks for giving me the gift to wake up. You didn't look up to see the sky. You forgot your purpose.You forgot to stop.
Tomorrow, if you're lucky you'll get another chance to experience the biggest miracle of all. When you open your eyes. When you wash your face. When you step outside. When you go about your day with your important list. Only this time...try not to miss it.
