How to Be Astonished by a Windowpane

Image
In this poem we uses light, glass, and shadow to embody the miraculous clarity that emerges when we are truly present. The ordinary is the only place where the miraculous can hide." This poem, "How to Be Astonished by a Windowpane," is an invitation to pause. What have you overlooked today? Stop rushing past the grace. ☀️  #AstonishedByTheOrdinary #Contemplation #MindfulnessPoems #TheUnhurriedDay The secret is to not be looking for the spectacular, the news, the coast, or any view you’d label “worth it. Instead, choose a stillness near a pane where light is merely doing its work, a common, unadvertised afternoon. You will see how the dust, when held by sun, is suddenly an unmapped galaxy, a silent, shifting, golden cloud. You will see the shadow of a wire that does not waver, a thin, perfect line cast across the table’s grain. The ordinary is the only place where the miraculous can hide.

   🍯 A love letter to softness, patience, and the sweetness of waiting A soft ode to love delayed, but not diminished. Savoring the slow, golden moments of life. Time flows not as a river, but as a sweet, unhurried stream in a vibrant, peaceful world. 🌙 The Night That Was Meant to Be My love,   Tonight was meant to be ours—   a quiet unfolding,   your voice in the hush between my thoughts,   your presence brushing against the edges of my day.   🌊Currents We Didn’t Choose I understand things shifted.   Life has its own tides,   and sometimes we’re pulled by currents we didn’t choose.   Still, I miss you.   Not just the plan,   🧡Holding Space, Softly but the way you make time feel like honey—   slow, golden, sweet.   So I’ll hold space for us,   for the next time,   for the warmth that waits.   And when you’re ready, ...
