But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin
air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green
leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes.
All is a miracle." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Thich Nhat Hanh has some amazing writings. I could not help but think of my life vision as I read this today—that every day I awake expecting a miracle to happen. Today I had several. I saw people passionate about the interpreting field again. I heard four snow geese honk as they flew low over my head, indeed a beauty to marvel at. I easily resolved a problem with the help of a colleague. I even managed to fit in a walk at the end of a busy and long day. Not only that, I was stopped in my tracks by this magnificent tree in my neighbourhood that seemed to be on fire—a tree still fully clothed in November. That alone is a miracle where I live!
Every day we have the opportunity to recognize at least one miracle in our midst. Every day, I want to see that all is a miracle. Walking on earth is a profound mystery. Just open your eyes and heart and you will see the joy that awaits.
Peace,
Suzanne
