Spirit winks...

One of my favourite quotes is


There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein

Today's chapter in The Lotus and the Lily pp. 56-60) is about the times when Spirit winks - the 'little' coincidences of every day, as well as the BIG miracles of our lives...

The miracle that if the blockage in my brain had been 2 cms to the right, I wouldn't even be alive today, or at best I'd be 'locked in' a coma...

The coincidence that today's reading in my usual daily blessings book...

... is this lovely quote:

The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones; they are what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

May I live today as the rose - as if everything is a miracle...

  3. Yes, I so agree: small miracles happen all the time, if we only choose to see them.

    I love the way you reflect on the Big Disaster that happened in your life, and turned it into a miracle, too…

    You are so brave and positive - but then again, you probably have to be to survive. Anyway, not everyone is able to choose that path and embrace Life as it happens.
