peppermint sticks and snow cones

There was a miracle this morning and I was a part of it. The forces that showed themselves plainly allowed me to only for a second see the possibilities. I sat on the couch and removed my hat. Without thinking I tossed it with a twirl towards the hat rack thinking it would somehow catch just right and hang itself. The miracle happened. Not only did the hat catch the rack, it caught the one part of the rack I was looking at. Not one second later, the hat adjusted itself just as I would have had I placed it there with my own hand. It was a perfect miracle and it happened without me putting in any effort. It was done as if it had been done a thousand times before in exactly the same way. I suspect that if I were to go back in time and try that again the results would be quite different; maybe not, who is to say? Anyway, the miracle was real. It happened gracefully and without thought and it made me smile. To me, that's a pretty cool way to open up the day. How many miracles will you be a part of today? LLc 98.2

There are many who take and don't know how to balance that out by giving. Once someone gets in the habit of taking, any consideration for payback on their part is rare. It can become addictive. Because those who do nothing but take live an off balanced life, they can act as a sort of black hole that sucks everything in while kicking out nothing. Intentions may be good, but their stories rarely match from day to day; week to week as the struggle to maintain their taking mentality during the daily grind continues unabated. If they only knew what lies ahead of them. The natural world has a way of balancing these kind of people out. The universal rule is whatever you dish out, and it comes only from a selfish place, you can expect a minimum of ten times coming back to you. But the difference is that getting back ten times takes even more time and it comes from a wider group of people to include strangers, animals, and anything else that can have an effect on those who take. Over time these takers will require more and more as future circumstances will become like a juggling act with many dropped balls and unhappy children looking on in sadness and despair. LLc 98.2
