JS1 year agoJSMy youngest son in the next room, the sound of cat paws silently crossing the wood floor. I am not alone. 0 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagSitting right now. 2 Reply Roxanne Springman1 year agoRoxanne SpringmanI am next to a roommate who is considerate and caring. Her dog is curled up my my feet, and the AC is keeping us all cool. I made scones for us to share, I am blessed to have learned how to cook when I was young. It has come in handy since I stay at home so much. 4 Reply Dusty Su1 year agoDusty SuThe taste, smell, feel of hot, fresh coffee as I sit in front of the roaring heater fighting to warm my tiny attic. The struggling Winter morning light peeks through the bare trees starting to bud green. I have the power of choice as to how I greet, enter, and dance with this day. That is the miracle within many miracles. Attitude being everything! 4 Reply Hot Sauce1 year agoHot SauceIt's pretty extraordinary being in a room full of solid three-dimensional objects when I stop and think about it, since, on the quantum level, it's all energy. That's a bit of a miracle. I honestly don't smell anything right now. I can hear the air blowing from the fan in the room, and I can hear myself typing this; both of those are pretty amazing because there's oxygen atoms blowing around the room by a human-made machine, and the fact that I can type by making the decision to do so is almost ...It’s pretty extraordinary being in a room full of solid three-dimensional objects when I stop and think about it, since, on the quantum level, it’s all energy. That’s a bit of a miracle. I honestly don’t smell anything right now. I can hear the air blowing from the fan in the room, and I can hear myself typing this; both of those are pretty amazing because there’s oxygen atoms blowing around the room by a human-made machine, and the fact that I can type by making the decision to do so is almost telekinetic in a way. I am touching a pencil, the couch, and my computer right now, all of which are pretty extraordinary because, technically, on the quantum level, we never touch anything but only interact with it from a distance. I’m not eating anything right now, so I don’t taste much. Read More4 Reply Melissa1 year agoMelissaYes , waking up and tasting coffee. Knowing my husband is happily working from home giving me a kiss. Three young foxes this morning playing so sweetly in this heat wave. The miracle is that a close friend made it through chemo, radiation and surgery during the pandemic and is now free of cancer. It is a miracle as it was a hellish ride to the cure. Now we are all rejoicing and so grateful to the hospital staff who stayed open to help this dire situation during Covid-19 to save my friends life. 7 Reply Don Jones1 year agoDon JonesThe miracle of the sunrise, the breaking of a fresh new day. The wonder and awe of the perfect geometry of the planets and stars in the pre-dawn sky, the joyous and gentle change of seasons. The realisation I am here, part of the unfolding. 6 Reply Linda1 year agoLindaThe beautiful day outside. My loving husband going about his daily chores. The taste of the coffee he lovingly makes me each morning. The sounds of the birds and the sight of my beautiful roses blooming. Thank you for asking this question–it is good to stop and notice these things. 6 Reply Arleen1 year agoArleenI am witnessing the miracle of life. My grandson was born 7 months ago and I am watching him grow and develop. As a newborn, he ate, slept, and pooped. But as he grows longer, gains weight, he is able to do something new every time I see him. The best is he recognizes me as someone who loves him. He smiles at me, wants me to hold him, and responds to me. He started off as just an egg and one sperm. But through the miracle of life, he is eating, laughing, crawling, playing, and so much mor...I am witnessing the miracle of life.

And it is right before my eyes. One of God’s best creations and greatest miracle!!

I saw the peacock babies are growing and now I refer to them as ‘teenagers’, lol. A fellow Irish dancer who had surgery just emailed our group that it was successful and asked for continued prayers for his niece – I witness the power of prayer. 4 Reply Ed Schulte1 year agoEd SchulteSun Light 5 Reply Elizabeth Hudson1 year agoElizabeth HudsonI am witnessing the smell of Diesel and the sound of the school buses running which reminds me of how blessed I am to have my job. I am tasting the nourishment of food into my body to give me the strength, brain function to continue pressing through today! 6 Reply Zenith1 year agoZenithEach morning I wake up is a miracle to me. A jog is a miracle for how it makes me feel. My health is a miracle. Really, I am so blessed. 5 Reply pkr1 year agopkrWhat miracles am I witnessing at this very moment? Beautiful flowers growing, smiling, shining bright in my mom’s garden. Tomatoes on the vine. This garden is my refuge these days. So pretty, so delightful, so soothing. It is a blessing…..? 5 Reply Patricia1 year agoPatriciaHaving these bodily senses with which to experience life is miracle enough this morning…. 5 Reply Howie Geib1 year agoHowie GeibAnything remotely involving a personal vocation (mine or others_) is activity of the Spirit. So the inclinations, nudges, ‘accidents’ of being in the right place at the right time, that all tend to nudge the pilgrim towards the right path, often unbeknownst to her or him. This is the stuff of miracles. The activity of the will of the higher power(s) are, by design, hard to pin down. I am fairly certain because we would tarnish it with our limited wisdom as a species and misuse it.

So the inclinations, nudges, ‘accidents’ of being in the right place at the right time, that all tend to nudge the pilgrim towards the right path, often unbeknownst to her or him. This is the stuff of miracles. The activity of the will of the higher power(s) are, by design, hard to pin down. I am fairly certain because we would tarnish it with our limited wisdom as a species and misuse it. And it comes uninvited and is persistent. And like in Vegas, around its creation, ‘the house always wins.’ So I try to find its presence so as not to thwart it and when possible clear obstacles in its way. The hospitality required is in and of itself a practice as even when answering the sound of the knock can cost me some personal dream or aspiration or notion of myself.

So happy that he has graced me with his presence and love ! Feeling joyful and grateful! 6 Reply Trish1 year agoTrishThe weather has been incredible in Michigan this week. All the windows are open & the cool air kisses my face. “Mornin, mornin, Trish. How will you make this day special, girl?!” Miracles….. 5 Reply sunnypatti1 year agosunnypattiLife & breath! The background sound of waves breaking on my meditation app. But also, the quietness outside. I just let the dog out a few minutes ago, and as it is still dark, it is sooo quiet. I heard some frogs, but nothing else. I love the quiet. It was something we were seeking when we bought this property a few months back. We both grew up and lived in cities before this. And as our city keeps growing, we wanted a sanctuary to get away from the hustle and bustle. Now we have it! I never...Life & breath!

And as our city keeps growing, we wanted a sanctuary to get away from the hustle and bustle. Now we have it! I never in a million years would have guessed I’d be living on an old farm in my 40s. I love this life. What a miracle it is every day! Read More6 Reply devy1 year agodevyThe morning stillness and darkness that is more evident as we approach the fall. Over the past couple of weeks it is noticeable that dawn is arriving later. There are no more birds chirping before the sun gets up . Now it’s the local cardinal who will greet me soon. There are crickets chirping but I know soon even they will be silenced.

There are crickets chirping but I know soon even they will be silenced. Soon I will be putting on my shoes to go a morning walk along the river to watch the sun arise and welcome in a new day.I taste the herbal tea that I’ve made ( I cannot drink coffee any more because of my health— I finally accept that fact). I feel the sofa cushions behind me and underneath me which reinforce the reality of how lucky I am to have a house with furnishings, a bed to sleep on and food in the cupboards and refrigerator. Life is good for me..
