Miracle of Life

‘Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.’ ~Thich Nhat Hanh

*******************

I read this quote several times.  It triggered so many questions in my mind. Why would we not touch the miracle of being alive?

As I contemplated and quested in my mind, I realized that several things come in to play in each of our lives.

  • Some of us come with a contract to Earth to do the bare minimum of living.
  • Some come to experience a variety of things - drugs, alcoholism, debilitating disease, rejection, becoming a cleric or monk, being a hero, and the list goes on.
  • Some come with the ability to enjoy Nature and the little miracles that happen each day but are ignored by many.
  • Some come to change the world.
Some are on a continuum of the above that lets them see the miracle of life as they become seniors.  How we live is perfect for why we are here.

Blessings,

Judy
