On the way to
work I saw another one of those bumper stickers that you see
everywhere these days: "Expect a Miracle."
I wonder what
people mean, exactly, when they stick those words on their cars.
Because as I look around, I see so many miracles that have already
happened and continue to happen so regularly as to become commonplace.
The very car
I drive is a miracle of ingenuity and enterprise.
The idea that
my printed thoughts can come to you wherever you are is a miracle.
My own existence,
and yours, is the result of a miraculous coming together of energies,
intentions, opportunities, and biology...not to mention some
sort of higher (very!) intelligence.
Instead of waiting
for miracles to happen, I'd rather look around to see all the
miracles I already have in my life, and rejoice in them. Because
I have them here now, I don't have to wait for them.
Pray to accept
what is, not what might be.
