What are ordinary miracles? They are the day-to-day events that we often overlook because they are so commonplace. This includes pregnancy, love, laughter, sunrise, rain, snow, the transformation of the seasons, holding your baby for the first time, the smile of a child, breathing! How easily we forget the greatness of these life experiences in our daily race of living! These are ordinary because we all experience them, many of us in great abundance. But in the ordinary is the extraordinary, and there we discover the miracle. Many of us do not take notice of our ordinary miracles until they are taken from us. Some of us may never notice them at all.
Have you ever watched Charlotte's Web? The one with Dakota Fanning? I stole this concept from the beautiful song by Sarah McLachlan, Ordinary Miracle, which is played in this movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rweU-FFE6Ww&feature=related). Funny what you can learn from a children's story! This is such a beautiful song (and I love her voice)! There is beauty all around us and so many opportunities to enjoy it throughout our days. We just have to pay attention!
So this is my hope in my pursuit of professional photography-to capture the ordinary miracles of life and place them in the form of a photograph into the hands of my clients. I hope you begin to be renewed in your perception of the happenings of your everyday! What ordinary miracles are you overlooking in the busyness of life?
