Miracles

If there is no wound on the hand, The hand can hold poison. Poison won't penetrate Where there is no wound. There is no evil For those who don't do it. Dhammapada 9 We only find in another that which we see in ourselves. Mirror'd reflections back unto us. Hope you all had a joyous holiday. This weekend I have been reminded of the power of unconditional love and the strength of family and friends. After a bit of a whirlwind in my relationship with my father we enjoyed the day as boundaries melted away and relished in the companionship of each other. How wonderful to be in a moment with someone when the boundaries just dissolve. To be free, completely free, of all that was built up in yesterday. To wash it away instantly to share a moment of genuine love. Where would all of our relationships be if we could just let it all wash away. My father whispered to me, "I think of you everyday Kelly". How rich my life is in love. I met a man today. He is not supposed to be alive. A drunk driver should have killed him. His doctors said there was no way he would be able to sustain the injuries of the crash. But today I had the pleasure of sitting with him and talking to him about all the joys that fill his life and how happy he is to be alive and to share his life with his wife and son. Not an ounce of resentment seeped through his being but rather he radiated this abundance of immense love for everything. It was great watching and being with him, so joyous in every moment we experienced together. Life is a miracle, isn't it. This moment is a miracle. The question is, how do we choose to live in this moment.
