Serendipity in a paradox 2.

Their cars passed in the driveway,
one window rolled down
one window, broken, rolled up.
The doors remained closed.






The Hubble deep space telescope is looking at galaxies forming.  "Dark energy", unseen, might hold pre-galaxy gasses in a "web", visible only by the pattern displayed by the spaces between the molecules.......
yet we cannot see that our spirits interact across spaces?  

May you recognize Serendipity when it comes your way......

Mindfulness

Serendipity in a paradox 1. :

Feet are buried in the mud, enabling us
to peer closely at the lotus petals.




"If we are thinking only of the cup of tea that awaits us, we are incapable of realizing the miracle of life while standing at the sink

-actually incapable of living one minute of life."



(-paraphrased from the teachings of Thich Nhat Hahn)
