The miracle that is now
+++++++++++++++++++

There is a miracle in every moment. Look closely, and
lovingly, and you will clearly see it.

There is an innate and elegant beauty in even the most
ordinary of things. Learn to love that beauty, and to let it
be, and your eyes will be opened to wondrous possibilities.

There always and everywhere is a quiet yet unyielding peace,
upon which rests all that is. The more often you reach in
and touch this peace the more fully you experience its
power.

Anything that is negative, deceptive or destructive will
eventually consume and obliterate itself. What is authentic,
peaceful and creative will continue to grow more pervasive.

When you need nothing other than to simply be, you have
every beautiful and wonderful and miraculous thing there is.
Life's richness is never more than a single thought away.

Breathe in deeply the beauty, the wonder, the miracle that
is now. Know the joy that cannot ever fade.
