an ordinary original

do you ever wake up
and have the feeling that
something extraordinary is going to happen
“today?” 

you cannot imagine what, maybe.
you cannot imagine how, or where, 
and certainly not why. 
maybe.
but you have that feeling and that feeling feels like
truth. 
and you want to believe it.
you want to believe in truth, afterall.
you should be able
to believe 
in truth. 

i’m coming to know, 
though it has taken me so long,
and i’m still not fully there
yet,
that feelings always seem to point to
truth… 
if you trust in them.

so i am learning to trust in feeling—
especially when it is a harbinger
of the extraordinary. 

(because i also want to trust in
the extraordinary).

and maybe just waking up
is extraordinary.

yes… 
that feels right. 
which is to say:
that feels true. 

hmm.

hmm. 

today, i woke up
but only the ordinary happened.

it was
it was
it was…
 

extraordinary.

may your day today be gloriously ordinary.

and may everyone whom you meet on this day be blessed by you—just by your presence.

then, everything will become extraordinary.
