Out Of
The Ordinary
Ralph Marston
Ordinary is anything
but. It is ordinary for the sun to rise every morning
in the east. Yet consider the monumental and perfectly balanced
dynamics which make
it so. It is ordinary to speak with a friend on the phone. Yet
when you
think of the physical complexities, the social, linguistic and
technological
accomplishments necessary for such a feat, it is indeed amazing.
We may think of a miracle as something out of the ordinary, yet that
which is ordinary is itself a most wonderful miracle. From
ordinary days
come exceptional joy. From ordinary lives come outstanding
accomplishments.
In every ordinary moment is possibility, and there's nothing ordinary
about that. The fact that life often seems so ordinary, and that
we
take so much of it for granted, is a powerful testament to the
all-encompassing quality
of its wonder.
Enjoy the ordinary moments. Make the most of them. And keep
in mind that within them are the most extraordinary things you could
possibly experience.
