The day has a mind of its own.
Give yourself to the day,
trust yourself to the day,
and to the emptiness,
stillness
and silence
that await the day
and its peculiar alignment
of conditions and circumstances
which set it apart from 
every other day,
making it unique,
special,
one-of-a-kind,
though it might look
on first glance
exactly like every other day,
with nothing special
to make it matter.

That's where we come in.
We are here to see the day as it is.
To separate the ordinary
from the un-ordinary,
and invite it to open itself to us
in ways commensurate with adventure,
wonder and miracle.

And wait,
watching for a door to open
where we would never expect 
a door to be--
and when it does, 
walking right through
to treasures and marvels untold.

Every day is like that
if we are ready.
