We live on a blue planet
that circles around a ball of fire
next to a moon that moves the sea,
and you don’t believe in miracles?

It truly is, David. It’s magical! Are you familiar with the term, “witness tree?” I had never heard of it until I was in Gettysburg, PA. There is a tree there that “witnessed” the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 1863.
It was standing long before the battle, and today it is still there. Many claim it has retained its energy from that time, as it bore witness to an extremely significant battle. I went up to the tree, and it was a humbling feeling.

Thank you, David! I hadn’t either, and to be honest, that tree felt “different”; perhaps it was just me, but there was just something about it. 🙂

One can’t help but feel insignificant standing beside one of those trees! A month ago I was standing in the Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park. Sequoias are the planet’s largest living things.

Ok, it’s so strikingly simple when put that way. That’s amazing and just love that! I do believe – in miracles, synchronicity, serendipity and all things in between. It’s been years, but King’s Canyon is truly spectacular…you’ve inspired me to put it back on the list!

And the moon is at just the right distance from us to appear to be the same size as the sun even though it is really so much smaller. And sometimes the moon passes directly in front of the disk of the sun so that we can see nothing of the sun but its fiery corona. Yes, I believe in miracles.

Beautiful post. And I just visited Sequoia National Park about 3 weeks ago for the first time. Standing next to General Sherman, the largest on the planet, and reading that it is 3200 year old, that’s right, 3200 years old, you have to believe in miracles. There are so many incredible things for us to embrace….
