Mantra #6 - Appreciation

Today I appreciate the miracles that are around me.

Miracles defy time, and they are constant. I see my life as an on-going miracle, based on the reality that everything that comes from the love that is, is miraculous.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee fiercely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!- and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Today I appreciate the miracles around me.
