Waiting for A Miracle?
I had a friend the other day who said, "I'm waiting for a miracle."
And another one, who, on the same day, texted me, "I am hoping for a miracle."
All I could think of was, "There are only miracles, and you are one of them. Your wait is over."
How do you translate the concept of a miracle, believing in a miracle, into the knowing of one?
The issue isn't that we need a miracle.
The issue is the lens we're looking through.
Miracles are often viewed as things that happen when the natural order is suspended. Yet the miracle IS the natural order.
And the miracle is the chaos, too, from which order arises.
The miracle also lives at the corner of hopeless and helpless, where we realize we're not the ones in control, but part of an unfathomable yet undeniable whole, and that we are so inexplicably held in all of this that we couldn't possibly be dropped, even if we wanted to.
So, as you go about your day today, if you are having difficulty seeing - experiencing - the miraculous, widen your lens. You are the miracle seeing - experiencing - itself.
Love,
Elizabeth
