sifting for magic

Sometimes…
Life surprises you with little gifts like an unexpected magical moment.
A moment that transcends everything reasonable and ordinary.
A moment that is framed by its vividness and timelessness;
A moment that leaves you feeling more alive, more awake.

Sometimes…
Life surprises you with a special magical person.
A person whose presence lifts your spirit, moves your heart and somehow slips under your skin as they linger gently in your soul quietly inspiring you to fly, to reach for the stars of your highest potential.

Sometimes…
Life surprises you with an idea; crazy and absurd.
Or an overwhelming feeling that takes you to the edge of life and dares you to JUMP!

Sometimes…
Life surprises you by turning off the lights and taking away all your hiding places, forcing you to surrender and take this new step as you trust and feel your way, taking each step in faith and letting go of fear and the past.

And while you make that first step into the unknown, trembling, you begin to see the first few rays of light filling you with hope and courage again until one day you look up to find a new day is born… you see a clear horizon and you are awakened to its possibilities.

And you promise yourself never to shrink, hide, or lose your way again.
