Daily Inspirational Message for March 17, 2014
“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either
on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.
Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize:
a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves,
the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes.
All is a miracle.” – Thich Nhat Hahn
For centuries, humankind has associated dying and “going to heaven” with getting closer to God, but what if we’re already as near to God as we’ll ever be? We don’t have to go anywhere or do anything to find God, for God is everywhere and in everything. We have simply to look for God in whatever is before us to experience the divinity of all that is.
