Ordinary & Extraordinary

This was another ordinary/extraordinary day.  Ordinary in the fact that my day consisted of normal Thursday activities, like two clients, lunch, a recovery meeting, a haircut, dinner and enjoying the feeling & smells of the evening with Maria in my backyard.  Extraordinary in that I am able to participate in those activities at all with the insights and understanding that I have.  I realize that I could easily be dead and that, through my meditation, contemplation and experience, I have a far deeper understanding of life than I thought possible.  It feels good to be grateful.
