"Words to Thrive By" by Mary Anne Dorward

“Around us, life bursts forth with miracles – a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, raindrops.

If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes and forms: ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easy as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings.

When we are tired and discouraged by life’s daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.”

Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh
