All is a Miracle

““People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

It is so easy for us in our society to miss the miracles, big and small. For some there is no concept they exist. Wonder how many of us would we see the miracles if we put down our smartphones?

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I am at least encouraged by those using their smartphones now to identify plants and animals.
    And at least you don’t have a teenager at home tying up the phone line while you are trying to get an internet connection. 🙂

      I’m one of those who uses my apps for plant and bird identification. They are quite handy. And, yes I am grateful I do not have a teenager at home, period! 😂 😂 😂
