Recently I heard Nicola Farmer, a spiritual teacher of mine (nicolafarmer.com) suggesting something that caught my attention. It is the idea of keeping a Miracle Journal.
Nicola explained that usually we think of miracles as experiencing something out of the ordinary in our every day life, for example, suddenly being cured of a disease. I think of examples like a near miss of a serious car accident, or walking on water. However, what Nicola was suggesting is something different.
That is, what if we can expand our perception of miracles to include such things as the wonderful feeling of seeing a beautiful sunset, or a large raven chattering to you on your windowsill (my experience).
To me the point is there have always been miracles around us because life is a miracle in all of its many amazing forms and it’s always changing. It’s just that we haven’t thought of it this way, even have perhaps taken these things for granted.
So, let’s stop and notice them, notice the miracles of life all around us. Let us acknowledge them as such and record them. Are you ready to start your Miracle Journal? Why not now at the beginning of this New Year? We may be surprised about what will unfold in the year ahead. Can you see it from the miracle perspective?
