The Miracle

Bramalea, Ontario, a photo by rchoephoto on Flickr.


     The miracle is that we are here,
     that no matter how undone we've been the night before,
     we wake up every morning and are still here.  
     It is phenomenal just to be.

If you perceive the universe as being 
a universe of abundance, then it will be. 
If you think of the universe 
as one of scarcity, then it will be.

     It is so much darker when a light goes out 
     than it would have been had it never shone.

"How does one become a butterfly?"

"You mustwant to fly so much

that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."
