This notion gets lost sometimes.
One forgets the supreme gift
of an ordinary life
with an unknown measure of days.
One forgets to luxuriate
in simple pleasures,
small intricacies,
the magic of creation.
One forgets to appreciate
the astounding privilege
of a life so filled with
astonishing details
one can never begin
to fathom the depths of its wonders.
The mistake is taking it for granted,
as if one were entitled.
The miracle is,
we can learn from our mistakes.
