The Oxford Dictionary of Phrase and Fable defines a miracle as "a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency." I believe miracles occur every day.

They say that what we focus on grows. Start the day with a moment of quiet focus to invoke the miraculous. Vow to pay attention to the "surprising and welcome events that are not explicable" today. Find treasures as you walk. See miraculous flowers blooming. Delight in butterflies and hummingbirds visiting the zinnias and sunflowers. Celebrate the vibrant dance of nature in its late summer beauty. Can you find a wild raspberry or pluck a calendula flower to tuck behind your ear? Hunt for a fossil in a pile of stones, and look through your eyelids at the sun. Miracles surround us. Today, attune to the miraculous, and see it.
