When you have felt trapped, confined in a space that you can’t find a way to escape, seeing the light of a possible way out—even in the distance—feels like something of a miracle.
When have you found your way out a situation in which you felt trapped?
“I am realistic – I expect miracles.” ―Wayne W. Dyer
What miracle do you expect?
The electricity in the fierce snap of lightning is the same electricity that lights up the buildings and streets of Bangkok. The only difference is that one is wild and one is domesticated and under control.

“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
What miracle can you see from where you are?
Some unseen force of wind or geology or who knows what has nudged this tree across its long life into a distinctive tilt. The tree probably never even noticed.
What important influence in your life have you only noticed after the fact?
