Thank you for helping to keep us all based, Mickey. You’re right, the “I” in the equation is always there, but it adds up to just one until we include others. Thanks be to God!
From a certain angle it is a wondrous time in this our lighter going stage of evolution to open our hearts, delve deeper into them and catch all the richness there, free to scoop up and put towards kinder living. 💖
You are simply the best! Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus every day and encouraging and motivating us to do the same! I love what you said about asking Jesus to perform small miracles through you every day! I’m going to work on saying and doing the same! ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you, MDR, but I wake up each day, wipe the slate clean, and accept the challenge anew. ❤️🙏🏻 That said, your closing sentence has me smiling ear to ear!
All talk of the Kali Yuga aside, I gave my neighbors a couple Sweet Grass braids I made on Sunday. I also shared with them one of my Milkweed blossoms and the story about how they took three years to mature to this stage. I even believe I seen a Monarch Butterfly last week in the Milkweed but IT fluttered off before I could make a positive identification. I don't even know if they venture this far north east.
Their little boy going on eight showed me his new toolbox and his dad showed me his brand new Green Foot truck. His wife shared her new garden beds and quite frankly I got the feeling of African Lion Safari on the tour through their backyard. That to me is a miracle, that the ambiance of their creations, and the scent of Sweet Grass and Milkweed drew out into my consciousness those fond memories of the before time.
These three fine people are the only living souls I see most weekends other than my wife. IT was a small miracle there was no rain on Sunday having done so for all but ten days since the end of May.
I believe we can all experience miracles every single day. You just have to believe in them and they will appear.
Your story brought me tears of joy, you maker of miracles. Thank you for sharing - not only these words, of course. But for sharing with those three fine people.
Btw, since my mother passed away in 2008, I have sensed that she visits me in the form of a Monarch Butterfly. Perhaps she stopped by to say hello yesterday.
Sheila, thank you for these lines...reminding all of us of the divine that exists around us (and in us). They made me, in turn, think of: “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2)
Oh no! Even though I haven't been commenting much lately I have been attempting to read all your posts and somehow missed the GoFundMe request on this one. I'm so sorry I will look for another miracle to support. So glad she had such a lovely birthday.

Mickey what a sweet guy, from workout muscles and generous gestures always to reach the spirit, behind the eyes. Some folks are afraid to say, “how are you, really?” Others say, “oh that’s none of my business.” Nope. I always touch and say, “So. What’s going on?” ~~~ This week at the bookstore I chatted longer with people I’ve seen over months, only “Good morning,” and made deep connections over a stack of books, then tslking more about a family member whose wife recently died, having juggled a difficult marriage anyway. So special, to be real , to take time after a chance simple comment and now looking forward to next week when we meet again.
I wish I could give you a big hug, Mickey. So beautiful. So simple. So powerful. 🙏🫂💕
Thank you, Kathleen! 🙏 Your virtual hug is gratefully received and I'm sending you one in return.
Thank you for helping to keep us all based, Mickey. You’re right, the “I” in the equation is always there, but it adds up to just one until we include others. Thanks be to God!
Amen, George! You are a leader by example. 🙏
Beautiful Mickey 🙏🙏🙏

You are the eyes and feet of Jesus Brother Mickey. I enjoy reading how God is using you. And thanks for the encouragement for the rest of us!
Thank you, Kristi, you are too kind! I will continue doing my best to live up to such generous sentiments. 🙏

Mickey, I was reminded of these lines from Hafiz as I read your post:
I see saints bowing in the mountains,
hundreds of miles away,
to the wonder of sounds that break into light
from your most common words.
Sheila, thank you for these lines...reminding all of us of the divine that exists around us (and in us). They made me, in turn, think of: “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2)
Thank you. Much needed....hope is a powerful thing. Bless you and Anna.
Bless you, Laura. 🙏

Elise! You have nothing to apologize for. Your support has been ongoing and deeply appreciated.
Thank you! My mom used to say except for the grace of God go I. You bring me situations humanity and intimacy. I'm so glad she had a lovely birthday.
🙏

Thank you, Sharon, and bless you for bridging that gap. What a lovely experience you describe - in one of my favorite locations: a bookstore! 💕
