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...

... 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...
