Sunday Scribbling: Miracle
Time passes. That is no miracle. That is what time does. Sometimes, the most mundane, ordinary things can seem like a miracle. Like, you can climb into a giant metal tube, sit in it for a couple of hours, and when you climb out, instead of leaden grey skies above you, you might see something like this: You lie down. You feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, soaking into your bones. You sigh. Many times. You begin to feel good. Really good. That is no miracle. That's what the sun is designed to do for us.
You spend days wandering from leisurely breakfast to poolside, to leisurely lunch to poolside - oh, with a trip to a beach for variety - and then out for leisurely dinners. You sigh contentedly. Many times.
They were made in May. It's now August. That is a miracle - or where I come from, it would be for sure!

Wow! I've never seen anything like this before -- they are truly extraordinary, and extraordinarily beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Something else! Wow! makes me want to go there!
Hello!
Yes, amazing what folks create in the sand! So beautiful. The art that lasts a while and then it is gone, changed to another form. But hey isn't that the story of all life.
Thanks for sharing the pictures, I love seeing them. Glad you had a good trip.
Transport to a strange and beautiful land of sand sculpture is miracle enough for me! I especially enjoyed following your link to the photo of the two guys walking, as if wanderers from another planet, amidst the silent, monotone world of sandy fantasy characters…that no doubt come to life when no one is looking :-)
This is amazing and a tribute to the miracle of human ingenuity and creativity.
Beautiful and creative destination. It's so good to be back. :) XXOO
Amazing sculptures! I'm glad you've had some good times to share with your sister, too.
What a wonderful trip! thanks for sharing!
What an amazing and fun time that must have been!
And Imelda, what you wrote about it was even more restful than the pictures, thank you! Love and healing, O xxoo
Great version of a miracle. To me it seems the relaxation of a good vacation is the miracle here.
Those sculptures are miraculous!
I'm so glad you and your sister had some time away, for some fun in the sun, Imelda.
Interesting take on the prompt! Love the images you provided to go with it. That looked like Hitchcock in one of the photos.
Loved it!

The sculptures are so beautiful--did you know they would be there, or did you chance upon them?
it doesn't look as though you made it to oregon this trip... when i first saw the sand sculptures i thought perhaps that is where you had been. but here in my home, like yours they never would have lasted more than a week. you are so good at finding and presenting us with the little miracles that make up a life. that take us from day, to day , to day. leading us onward ever feeling hopeful for the next momentous surprise.
love to you and your heart imelda.
