today i felt the plan work through me. i didn’t make the plan, i got out of the way and it happened.
October 10th, 2009small miracles happen everyday, and often we are too busy or wrapped up in ourselves to notice them. in fact, big miracles are always happening and sometimes we’re so caught up in ourselves we don’t notice those when they’re larger than life. the reality is, the small and the large miracles are life. they are all part of the same moment - this one, and this one, and the next.
to be able to look at a day where i didn’t do nearly anything i had planned on doing, canceled some plans, and finally gave up having them altogether and allowed myself to take the day off from productivity - only to find that this had all happened for a reason - so that i could be available to someone in need of a miracle, access to one at least - that i was a vehicle for that to happen in that moment - is a blessing, something i am eternally grateful for, and yet another miracle.
i am grateful that i got nothing accomplished on my original list of tasks today. i am grateful that i missed out on a few things i really wanted to do for fun today. i am grateful because i didn’t have a date night with my partner that we were both looking forward to because someone else needed me to show them which way to point their head to let the light shine on them, even with their eyes closed and still seeing the darkness. the light is there, her head is pointing that way and she didn’t know where it was - but she does now, because i got nothing done and showed her which way to look.
it’s been done for me, i will always be grateful for the setbacks in my day, even when it isn’t immediately obvious why they are happening - because they do happen for a reason and i just have to let myself be available to them so that i can help light reach the darker places in the world because we all deserve to shine in it.
