Every Hour as a Miracle


TO ME, EVERY HOUR OF
THE LIGHT AND DARK
IS A MIRACLE,
EVERY CUBIC INCH OF
SPACE IS A MIRACLE.

~Walt Whitman

Of Note: To an observer, miracles describe all of Life. And Walt Whitman was an observant man who brought over from the other side a descriptive mind in order that we might see more clearly. This line comes from his short poem "Miracles." If a person wanted to get a sense of a poet in contact with the divine, recommended reading must include his epic tale "Songs of Myself." Here's a hint, the "myself" describes the journey of his soul through the world of men and with that in mind is quite a moving piece. It's reassuring to know that there are men and women among us who are in the know and leading us every step of the way.

Today's Weather Report: Since the last blog report, more snow has fallen. We have been inundated which was better than the alternative--frigid cold. But, the cold will descend on us tonight just in time for the new year. Don't know about you, but we will be in bed early. It's been quite a week with the funeral of Jim's Mom on Tuesday in Racine. Many blessings to all in 2010--it is shaping up to be quite a year.
