Miracles Are Natural

After numerous conversations today about this topic, these words from Thich Nhat Hanh seem a perfect post!

“Around us, life bursts forth 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 Hanh


“Miracles are natural. ²When they do not occur something has gone wrong.” 

A Course in Miracles T-1.I.6:1-2


“The miracle introduces no disorder, but unfolds the primal order, establishing the Science of God’s unchangeable law.” 

Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 135:6-8
