"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Miracles.

Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.


If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere.


Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles.


Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap;


... a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos;


... a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings.


When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.

- Thich Nhat Hahn
