Awakening

There are periods in time, when I forget to be grateful for all "small" miraculous things, events, feelings that happen that we experience on a daily basis. These are the weeks that pass unnoticed and tend to be less filled with satisfaction and with personal growth. Choosing to be grateful for the daily presnts we get from the universe, we automatically become more aware of the peace, the beauty, the love and all other amazing things that surround us. Below a small poem about the end of a few weeks that had gone by without making time for reflection about this:

 

After what seemed an eternity of spiritual hibernation

I felt a surge of appreciation for all wonders of creation

Like a tree in winter that had looked as if ti was dead too long

I had been void of gratitude, but now it all came back, so strong

 

Just like melody of two birds sitting on a branch in spring

I have started again to listen to my heart and my soul sing

Their song, while always there had fallen on deaf ears.

Now that it over,:my mind loves again the music it hears.
