Pam's Daily Wave...

Good Morning and Welcome to Monday from my Atlantic Life in Hatteras 😊

Yes it's Monday.....although it's a federal holiday - President's Day, so some may be having a lovely long weekend!

As I was walking on the beach this morning, watching the sun rise through the clouds, and the migrating birds streaming north, I got to thinking how magical mornings are here on Hatteras .......and how, by opening my senses to the natural world around me, I can find magic in so many places every day.

This poem popped into my head, and I thought it would be a great reminder to start a new week with...

Magic

you tell me that I’m childish

seeing magic in the world

that there’s no room for enchantment

on this scientific earth

you give me explanations

and you hand me charts and graphs

for you say there can’t be magic

in the company of fact

but I’ll argue that there’s magic

in a new-born baby’s cry

and in how that baby heard

it’s mother’s heart beat from inside

I’ll tell you that it’s magic

how a butterfly exists

that there’s something most spellbinding

about metamorphosis

there’s magic in the differences

between each flake of snow

and in people finding footprints

from a million years ago

I’ll tell you that it’s magic

how the tides move with the moon

and how the sun can split a raindrop

into seven different hues

it’s magic how a spider

weaves a complex fragile web

and how all the words of years of songs

are stored inside our heads

but you’ll tell me there’s no magic

for this all can be explained

yet, to me, there’s magic dancing

in the workings of our brains

see the danger is our knowledge

means there’s little awe to spare

but if we stop looking for magic

then we’ll never see it there

Here are some pics of my Hatteras "magic" from the weekend and this morning 💗

Until Next Time...

Take care, Stay Safe and....please ask yourself "are you seeing the magic around you?"

Love and Hugs,

Pam
