“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle
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
Amen! I really get this on a deep level due to spending my childhood working outdoors on our family farm. My roots are deep in nature and everyday miracles. I’m grateful!
Tess…
It is no wonder that you have such a powerful and inspirational spirit.To have a strong connection nature is a recipe for seeing the miracles every single day. What a gift that you are grateful for that you have!
Fran,
What a beautiful quote. I do try to live my life as though everything were a miracle. I’m not saying I’m 100 percent there but I do remind myself as often as possible. Thank you for helping to remind me!
Angela…
Oh yes indeed. I do think that you are an individual who seems the magic in everything. It comes through in your vibrant energy:) Fran
Hi Fran,
Beautiful! It brings it all back to mother earth and the miracles that are all around us. Thanks for sharing.
Cathy,
Reading these inspirational quotes gives me such strength and a reminder that we experience miracles every day….we just need to be opened to them. Fran
When I look back on my earlier years and the ways I thought and saw the world, it’s a miracle that I’ve made the transformational changes that I have in order to have such an amazing life now. I have infinite gratitude to all the people who have supported me through this ever-evolving process.
Thank you Fran!!
Great to be reminded of the pleasure of the simple things in life. Every day is a gift. Thanks.
Yes it is. And to really know it is a huge gift. I’m working on it! Fran
I love Thict Nhat Hahn! Love his book, Peace With Every Step. Thanks for inspiration!!
Betsy…
His writing is so simple and profound. Although I don’t read through his books in one sitting, I have a few on Kindle so wheneve I need a Thich ‘boost’, I can dive in and read a few passages. He is one of the great ‘living’ teachers. Fran
Fabulous. I will go out and paddle on the water today thinking of this. It is amazing what we have in front of us to enjoy and appreciate.
Love this! And so very true.
Thanks for stopping by. Good to see your face here.
Fran
Hi Fran! I love this:
“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.”
Miracles happen every day. It’s learning to open our eyes to them. To take notice of them.
Bryan,
Isn’t it wonderful to believe in miracles? How right you are that they happen everyday. What a gift! Fran
