D.H. Lawrence said just the fact we’re here is a miracle. I believe everything in this world is miraculous. Walt Whitman agrees: “To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.”
Sometimes a miracle doesn’t even seem like a miracle, but it changes your life. I went through a health crisis that left me believing it was a miracle that I’m still in this world.
A Course in Miracles states that miracles are normal occurrences. If miracles are not happening, that means something’s wrong.
Sumner Davenport asserted that thinking positively is not sufficient to bring real change. For that it takes a miracle. “Positive thinking by itself does not work. Your embodied vision, partnered with vibrant thinking, harmonized with active listening, and supported with your conscious action, will clear the path for your miracles.”
Phillips Brooks believes that we ourselves are the miracle: “Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.”
According to Saint Augustine, we’re in a land where miracles are natural phenomena: “Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.”
Maybe a miracle is simply a reminder the substance of our world is divine. Dwight Longenecker said, “Maybe miracles are given not to prove anything, but simply to remind us that the physical world is not so solid and real and dependable as we think.”
It takes Buddha to say it so simply: “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.”

I think life itself is a marvelous miracle! 🙂 and for me that is miracle enough. Look at what Love can do to us, isn’t it wonderful!? Miracles occur when we stop believing that the impossible is impossible! 🙂
This was incredibly powerful for me, thank you. I am at the point of consciously acting on my miracle mindset in a very big way. It is the hardest thing to do.

Beautiful post Rob. There are so many things to think about here. Simply the number of people across time with the same message is in itself a miracle. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

If miracles are defined as things without a rational explanation .. then they really are everywhere! St Augustine, Dwight Longenecker and the Buddha rock 😉
Thank you.
