The Little Things....

There is a saying that life is not in the number of breaths you breathe, but in the moments that take your breath away.  It has struck me, since I started viewing the world through the eye of my camera about a year ago, that this is so very true.  So many things have grabbed my eye lately, that in days past I would have simply passed by.  What do I mean?  The wonder of an artistic spider, the colors God spashed her with, and the sac of life she quietly created today.  She is a small whisper of God.

What do I mean by a whisper of God?  Consider this.

"The Lord said, 'Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.  Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind.  After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.  After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.  And after the fire came a gentle whisper.  When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and  stood at the mouth of the cave.'"  I Kings 19:11-13

Don't get so caught up in the concerns of today and plans for tomorrow that you miss the whispers.

Allow your breath to be taken away..... often.
