There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Albert Einstein
Twice in one week I came across this quote – first in a book and second from my teacher at the end of a yoga class. I made a note the first time that I liked this simple philosophy of life. The second time I paid closer attention because in between I came across a quote from Thich Nhat Hanh, who most of you know is a favorite of mine:
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
And if you don’t believe everything is a miracle take a moment to watch a Symphony of Science video or just sit quietly, breathe and listen to your heart beat.
