magnificat

 

sometimes it's hard
to get out of bed,
put your feet on the
floor and get going

sometimes it's like
death to believe
that anything
good can come
out of this life.

but if you dont go
anywhere,
nothing will ever come
to you.

 so move,

get outside of
yourself,

look for a
miracle.

it doesn't have
to be a big
miracle-

(no Red
 Seas parting,
 no dead rising
 up from the
  grave)

-any miracle will
do;

the smile on the
face of a
child

the unexpected
pleasant conversation
with a stranger while
standing in a checkout
line

a dandelion punishing
it's way up through
the cracks of a city
sidewalk.

miracles abound if
you look for them,
wait for
them.

just be open,

be ready.

you will find a
miracle.

or it will find
you.

and either
way...

what a miracle
that will
be.
