“...there is no such thing as a charmed life, 

not for any of us, 

no matter where we live or how mindfully we attend to the tasks at hand. 

But there are charmed moments,

 all the time,

 in every life and in every day,

 if we are only awake enough to experience them when they come

 and wise enough to appreciate them.”
