What is a miracle? Meditation for 4/2/2014

Savannah GA

There are two ways to live.  You can live as nothing is a miracle; you can live as everything is a miracle.”  - Albert Einstein

“We awaken in others the same attitude of mind that we hold toward them.”  - Elbert Hubbard

     A miracle is defined as an event that cannot be explained by natural or scientific laws.  There was an event that created all of the matter, light, energy, etc in our universe.  Both scientific and natural laws tell us that we cannot create or destroy anything; we can only change the state in which it exists. Thus, by definition, everything that exists is the result of a miracle.

       We can still choose to try to convince ourselves that our universe, our world and our lives originated out of nothing, rush nowhere and are ultimately doomed to end in nothing.  Or we can choose to become aware of the beauty, symmetry and interconnectedness of all.  We can choose to become aware of the role we are supposed to play in its unfolding.  Which viewpoint opens doors and which shuts them?  It is obvious in its simplicity.

     When we become aware and begin to awaken spiritually, we realize we must choose to follow that inner compass which many call God or engage in distractions to avoid our connection with the eternal. The result of our decision is always quite apparent.  We choose appreciation, apathy or distraction, and our universe responds to our decision.

Today, may I see the value and potential in all.   

Have a great Wednesday
David
