The Sarah McLaughlin song "Just Another Ordinary Miracle Today" seems to be everywhere. On Canadian TV, it's selling SunLife Insurance. In the U.S., it's pushing CVS Pharmacy. Last night we saw "Charlotte's Web" and that song was the background music for the closing credits. But the words to the song are lovely. When I hear the honk of the Canadian Geese flying south in their chevron formation overhead, it's definitely a miracle. So is a busy bee foraging in the last autumn bloom atop a seven foot hollyhock, with the gorgeous fall foliage behind it.

I think you have captured the essence of the season with your prose and imagery.
ReplyDeleteThat's a Joni Mitchel song... Sarah had nothing to do with it - she just sang it...
ReplyDeleteActually, the song was written by Glen Ballard and David A. Stewart of Eurythmics. But it is Sarah's unique & gorgeous voice that helped make it so beautiful!

Awkward grammar in public postings tends to leave me feeling less than content...and for the record, this is a new "anonymous" who appreciated the information provided by the original "anonymous." Thanks for playing...
