I share with DeAnn the quote from Henry Miller regarding life, and our meanderings within it. Miller describes a scene where the gift of Life could be presented on a silver platter with a silver top concealing it. When the top is removed - viola - a piece of dung is exposed. "The monstrous thing," he writes, "is not that men have creates roses out ofthis dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses. For some reason or other man looks for the miracle...."
Is not everything about Life the miracle?
During this time of year, when images of angels find me in the pharmacy's card and book racks, when lights beam from many porches, when sails flow with colors of gold and green and red and when people give and give and give, I for one feel attuned to the miracle of Life, and the infinite potential to give and give and give again.
