Extraodinarily Ordinarey

Extraordinarily Ordinary

Every day of our lives we have example of how extraordinary we can be. One of the first example that can to me was how a mighty oak tree grows from a little acorn. Every thing this majestic being needs is in side one little acorn. Just add sunshine and water and what do you have? Shade, oxygen, and food It asks for nothing. It expects nothing. It just takes in what it needs and grows how ever it needs to grow and when it dies it just dies and returns to the earth to be used as nutrition for the next generation to come.
How extraordinary is that? It happen everyday and for eons it has been going on by billions of Oak trees.
Next there is this being that lives on this earth that averages about 7lbs. It eats, sleeps and have bowel movements. That’s it. Yet it can command the attention of the entire universe in just one simple smile or a few cries. When one passes you by all around them stopping to get a look and marvel at the a creation that had been duplicated by the millions for eons and yet not a sing one is the same. They don’t come into this life demand to be taken care of we teach them to expect it. These extraordinary beings grow up and they have everything they need to have an extraordinary life.
Pa’Ris’Ha’ my Elder keeps telling me that I am an extraordinary being. I kept trying to see what she sees. I am just like everyone else. Today I got closer to the extraordinary being Pa’Ris’Ha is always seeing. I step out of the box and looked around and saw that everyone is extraordinary and began to giggle as the realization that being extraordinary is quite ordinary and I AM both!!
On a resent drive back to Tampa Zilima and I where having a conversation. What is our passion in life? During the conversation we realized that we keep looking at what every one else is doing and how their passion shows up in their lives. We where comparing ourselves to another. We realized that this does not matter. There are extraordinary example of passionate being walking the planet Earth, but not a one of them can live this life as the extraordinarily ordinary way Marylois or Zilima can.
