Fear, holy fire and the subtleties of contingency miracles

[hundun]

I'm scared.

This touch electric speaks to something old and buried in the back under a dust-covered tarp. An old and terrifying treasure not to be brought out until the time was right. A contigency miracle.

Miracles are scary, especially the subtle ones grounded in everyday flesh. The ones that have burnt you with the fringes of their holy fire.

Yeah, it's scary. But in the best way ever.

Dude, I get my own tag! This is awesome.

I'm too flippant for my own good sometimes.

Life is all miracles. This is one of the more spectacular ones.

Joy is.

Also, there's an 'n' in relationships. ;)

Loveyouloveyou.

This is better than it's supposed to be, you know.

There's a Rumi poem, translated by Coleman Barks:

"Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy,
absentminded. Someone sober
will worry about things going badly.
Let the lover be."
