life: acoustic & amplified

every day wonders

I wake up with 606 miles to go

I remember to remember

this day is my gift

let me not forget to wonder in the ordinary

to see beyond my own tired eyes

gazing into the language of mountains, valleys, trees and hawks

let me not forget the beauty behind me

this time with friends and family

these celebrations of blessed union

this music, the love of my heart

let me be grateful and lighthearted for the beauty yet to be

this time with children and making new friends

this place to carve into home

the music playing always

ready to walk into the room with me

yes, this is an ordinary day

I will drive so many miles

I will be exhausted and ready to land

well before the end

but, really, this in no ordinary day…

there is no such thing

every day is a wonderland

full to the top with gifts of goodness

let me see each of them

let me scribe them into my soul

let me bow and say thank You

let me share them with another

let me wake tomorrow to find another ordinary,

not-so-ordinary day
