<p>What really is a miracle? If miracles were more common, would we still call them miracles? As I explain in “The Steps of Essence,” the words miracle and mirage are related and they imply feeling a sense of wonder. So ask yourself: what instills a real sense of wonderment in you? Is it something grand like Jesus walking on water? Or how about a woman with an injured spinal cord who was told by the doctors that she would never walk again, and yet does. Is that a miracle? What about our ability to feel love?</p>

So ask yourself: what instills a real sense of wonderment in you?
Is it something grand like Jesus walking on water?
Or how about a woman with an injured spinal cord who was told by the doctors that she would never walk again, and yet does. Is that a miracle?
What about our ability to feel love?
Or, very simply, the beauty of a flower? Just really regard at it—and maybe, just like me, you’ll see how amazing it is and feel a sense of wonder at what we call life.
If you choose to see the wonder that is all around us, you can see miracles everywhere.

Namaste — I and the Divine in me bow to You and the Divine in You.
