Dear friends,
What is your everyday miracle?
A little device in your pocket that allows you to access the stored information of humanity.
Just imagine travelling back in time and producing that little miracle in the old library of Alexandria.
What is your everyday miracle?
Stepping into a metal cylinder and being whisked across the world as you are fed and entertained.
Take a look back at the earliest attempts at human flight.
Who could have imagined what later proved possible?
What is your everyday miracle?
Pressing a switch and finding your house brightly lit.
For thousands of years people struggling in semi-darkness could never have dreamed of such a thing.
What is your everyday miracle?
Speaking face to face with another person half way across the world.
Not so long ago we had to wait years for the installation of a fixed landline and before that,
Well,
That was it.
What is your everyday miracle?
Seeing a photo of the earth appearing as a distant dot from the vantage point of Voyager 1,
6 billion kilometres from home.
The universe is amazing and so are we.
What is your everyday miracle?
Nature painting autumn colours on trees and plants.
Reminding us it's time to take it easy as the days grow shorter.
Why don't we listen?
What is your everyday miracle?
The morning sun dancing through the trees singing it's a new day.
A reminder to greet this new day with gratitude.
I had one yesterday and the day before and here comes another one.
Now what is your own everyday miracle?
If you have little time to spare,
Spend five minutes now remembering and giving thanks.
Because your life is a miracle and everything that surrounds you is a miracle.
What a wonderful world.
Namaste.
