“You have to take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun–and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t exist–that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists–a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.”
― Paulo Coelho
What was the magic moment of your day? How can you nurture that moment, sustain it and cause it to grow into a magical time… I think that the method that Paulo Coelho suggests to discover the moment in the first place. Paying attention. Tere are times when our attention, our focus is the most legitimate coin that we have, perhaps most of the time.

there was an expected occurrence. it pulled me out of the quicksand, metaphorically speaking. a contact accepted with a calmness inside of me. before that it was a dark place. it was inflencing me to change the path i am on to where i am heading at the moment. i know that may sound curiously the same but it is not. lessons to learn. once again a good visit to your blog. how you get the colours in your art amazes me. quite striking. j.k. 😎
Thank you for your kind words, i will write more tomorrow including acknowledging the wonderful awards from you and others and making some nominations of my own… As i said not something i do often but have been blessed with lots of kindness and love of late so shall pass it on since those things tend to be only ours as stewardship never possessions
