WHAT IS A MIRACLE?

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE,

IT IS A MIRACLE THE SYSTEM LET ME BACK IN,

I HAVE SEEN A LOT, DONE A LOT, HAVE A LOT TO SAY, NOT ALL OF WHAT I, AM TO SAY IS A MIRACLE,BUT I, AM TO SAY IT ANY WAY, IT ALL

MUST HAVE A MEANING SO HERE GOES.

AS SOME OF YOU KNOW I USED TO PROSPECT FOR GOLD, PLACER GOLD, NOW I, AM BIT OLDER AND I HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVIE THAT TOLD OF A GUY SIMILAR TO MYSELF, GOING OUT AND NOT TELLING ANYONE WHERE EXACTLY HE WAS,

TAKING CHANCES AND NEVER EVER THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING GOING WRONG AND THEN ONE DAY IT DID, HE GOT HIS ARM CAUGHT AND HAD TO CUT HIS OWN ARM OFF IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, STRANGE MIRACLE, BUT HE LIVED,

I NEVER HAD ANYTHING THAT DRASTIC HAPPEN BUT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, THE CLOSEST THING TO THAT WAS WHEN I WAS TRAVELING FROM KANSAS CITY BACK TO CALIFORNIA AND THE FIRST CLOSE CALL CAME WHEN ALL OF A SULDEN ALL THE RADIO STATIONS WERE TELLING US TO GET TO A SHELTER AS A TORNADO WAS ABOUT TO TOUCH DOWN NEAR WICHITA KANSAS, NEVER HAVING BEEN AROUND TORNADOES

WHAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, GET UNDER An OVERPASS, I HEARD THAT WAS WRONG, YOU WERE TO GET OUT OF YOUR TRUCK AND LAY DOWN IN A DITCH, I DID NOT WANT TO LOOSE MY TRUCK SO I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL AND TRIED TO END RUN IT, GOD WAS WITH ME AND I DID, LATER I THOUGHT HOW FOOLISH THAT WAS,GOOD THIG SOMETHING BESIDES LUCK WAS WITH ME, NO ONE EVEN KNEW WHERE I WAS IN CASE MY END RUN HAD NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL

THEN TO MAKE MATTER WORSE I DROVE ALL NIGHT IN ORDER TO GET TO THOSE BEAUTIFUL NEW MEXICO BLUFFS AND MESAS, ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TAKE SOME PHOTOS, AND I DID, AGAIN NO ONR KNEW WHERE I WAS, MY TRUCK WAS THE ONLY TRUCK IN THE PARKING LOT AND THE PARK WAS NOT GOING TO OPEN TILL THE NEXT DAY.

I CLIMBED THROUGH A HOLE IN THE FENCE AND SPOTTED A HUGE ROCK MONUMENT WAY UP THE CANYON, IT WAS WARM, NO JACKET, NO KNIFE, NO MATCHES, IT DID NOT MATTER I WAS JUST GOING TO SHOOT A FEW PICTURES AND THEN GET BACK ON THE HYW. TO HOME, TALK ABOUT A DUMB GREENHORN, I KNEW BETTER JUST A FEW HOURS LATER AND HUNDREDS OF GREAT PHOTOS I FOUND MYSELF UP THE CANYON AND ON TOP OF THE MESA, GREAT SUNSET COMING UP BUT THAT WAS WHEN I RELIZED I WAS A COUPLE HOURS AWAY FROM MY TRUCK, IT WAS GETTING COLD AND THE WIND COMING UP THE CANYON WAS LIKE A SAND BLASTER, THE BLUFFS WERE HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR AND A FALL NOW COULD REALLY BE SERIOUS, I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT NO ONE KNEW WHERE I WAS.AND I KEEP LOOSING THE TRAIL BACK DOWN AND IT WAS GETTING DARK. IT WAS PITCH BLACK WHEN IN THE SAND STORM I FINALLY FOUND MY TRUCK, WAS I LUCKY ? I DECIDED NOT TO BE THAT STUPID AGAIN AND THANK GOD FOR THE HELP BACK AND HUNDREDS OF GREAT PHOTOS.
