I’m on my first worldwide flight because the pandemic began, and I bought fortunate sufficient to have a window seat. Flying to Costa Rica by the use of Guatemala to steer a retreat, I’m searching at an enormous expanse of mountains in Mexico … and I’m in absolute awe.
What a miracle that is, to be flying so magically via the air, over such majestic stretches of this Earth!
I observed that once I was touring rather a lot earlier than, I bought fairly jaded about flights. Ho hum, one other flight, let’s get this over with, no huge deal, I’m an skilled traveler, not some wide-eyed baby. How did I get this jaded to the wonders of life? How do any of us get so jaded?
Life is miraculous. Life is full of wonders. Life is majestic and magical.
And I don’t simply imply the magic of flight — which our ancestors would have thought was sorcery, by the best way. I imply the magic of toasters and heating and houseplants. I imply the miracles of every human being we encounter on the road, the marvel of getting somebody love you, the sacredness of grief and heartbreak, the fun of a berry.
Each second, we’ve got the chance to get up to marvel, to awe, to on a regular basis miracles. It is sufficient to make your coronary heart leap with pleasure, to overwhelm your soul, for those who let it. Each day, we’ve got entry to this, in a lot abundance.
Will you let it in?
