Ordinary Miracles
Sarah McLachlan sings a beautiful song about the power of ordinary miracles. The idea that, “you don’t need to teach a seed to grow and the sky knows when it is time to snow.” As I watched the baby turtles on the beach at Ras Al Jinz this song kept echoing in my heart.
Here are these amazing little creatures, crawling along, to what to them must seem like giant mountains of beach. The level of perseverance and determination that these animals show is inspiring. They know what is important and their natural instincts take them to the water. Unaware or undaunted by the task the baby turtles push forward until they reach their goal. A simple and beautiful ordinary miracle.
The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.-Sarah McLachlan-
