How Long Do Miracles Take to Arrive?

2024.05.09

Good morning that great way.

And we're off.

Well, on actually.

On this thing that we do each day: write.

So, right, we're off.

There's that business of everyone else, but we go on a singular self.

How could anyone, anywhere, ever think they're alone? With all this world, being all this stage, what good can life be without an audience to share the spectacle?

So much to give to all and talk about. How to hermit life? Find some woods and a comfortable house, talk to the scenery, call it God and call it quits?

Chop wood carry water business.

Stay alive, just you, your dog and some callouses on each hand?

Months ago, with the stent stint in the hospital. Years ago, with that broken leg, that car accident that killed me, all these dreams, but only one dream woven into one called this life.

I'm kind: It's been a nightmare. I sit with reassurance that the one thing all nightmares have in common is they end. Nothing to do but wake up.

Dark night of the soul business.

But I'm calm with it. I remember what I've learned.

Mirror, mirror on my chest, this heart gets what this heart wants best.

How long do miracles take to arrive? How long is the shipping time on a package from Heaven?

‘Patience is a virtue’ is the lesson and I'm nothing but a piece of living called virtuous.

So, I sit, not waiting, expecting. A dreamer in labor refusing the pains of giving birth.

Often running around in a dream ends in falling off a cliff. It never accomplishes anything but the prolongation of the nightmare. Best to sit still and let good things come. Let the light find it's forgiveness from the dark and be allowed to rise again.
