Spirit, use me today,
not in some miracle
that would make others marvel
and would make me proud.
Not in the word of wisdom
that would stay in the mind
and make me always remembered.
Not in the heroic act
that would change the world for the better
and me for the worse.
But in the mundane miracles
of honesty and truth
that keep the sky from falling.
In the unremembered quiet words
that keep a soul on the path.
And in the unnoticed acts
that keep the world moving
slowly closer to the light.

(from Lightning Beneath the Sea)

Spirit offers us the opportunity to be used always. It is our task to wake up to Spirit's nudgings. Ego has a way of drowning that call. This is a wonderful reminder to put ego aside, open to Spirit, and hold the space for each other to do the same. Namaste!
