“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.”
