I suddenly realize that I believe in miracles and that all modes of magical thinking are available to me. The denial has suddenly vanished. Which miracles will I be willing to know? All of life and our very existence are miraculous. I don’t mean that they tend in some way toward the thing that we name miracle, but that life is The Miracle. If we can ask the question, “what am I?,” then anything, Anything, else is also possible. There is nothing more miraculous than our very existence. Can You/I/We embrace this? Nothing else is possible because we are already the One embracing.
This is the rock of our experience. The most real thing in the all of our entire experience is that we are! Hard like a diamond is the conviction that I am. I can shout it from the mountaintop without shame.
I am!
Whether I be here tomorrow or not, I can say with certainty that there is a perceiver in me right now. I don’t know from where these eyes look this skin feels this nose smells these ears hear this tongue tastes this heart loves, nor where pain or joy come from, but nonetheless I will not hesitate to say that I am.
That is miraculous.
