“The miracle starts with what we already have.  Close the door.  God doesn’t need an audience.  The oil will keep flowing as long as you are open,” Daryl Black.  Miracles surround us and live within us.  The ideas and feelings we have and the breath in our bodies, all of that is miraculous.  The ability to connect and create and change and understand this world and to live with purpose are all varieties of miracle that we must appreciate.  Even the biggest of miracles starts small and grows.  Not everything explodes into our world where there’s this one life altering moment.  Those small moments are the ones where we plant the seeds and nurture it and become all we are meant to be are often the greatest miracles of the universe.  The work is often done behind closed doors, in the moments of focused silence we steal between the image of life as we’ve created it and the life we envision.  We have all we need to create whatever it is we want but the real magic happens when we create what we are meant to.  When we find that alignment with our purpose so the miracle can truly unfold. 

We are given gifts that have no other explanation than a divine source.  The days we feel like we can’t keep going and we find the strength to put in one more minute, one more paragraph, one more stir, one more mile, one more smile, one more hug, one more call.  When we find the strength we never thought we’d have.  The purpose of miracles isn’t to be flashy, it’s to establish a divine connection, a connection with the presence of source that is everywhere.  Miracles exist to remind and make us aware that we are part of such a bigger picture and that, while we are so small in that grand scheme, we are giants in our own right.  We don’t have to crash though, we can proceed with caution and care and purpose and allow the magic we are gift to flow from our fingers like a river.  Magic isn’t an avalanche, it’s a flow and we are all able to tap into that flow.  More importantly, we are meant to tap into that flow so we know that we are conduits for our particular brand of magic.  A magic that God/Source bestowed upon us to share with the world.

What we have will always be the foundation of what’s to come.  How we view what we have and what we decide to do with it become the stepping stones to the bigger picture. How we move with it and what we make of it is a mark of our connection to flow.  I reiterate time and again that we are taught scarcity.  It is engrained in us and hammered home over and over again that there isn’t enough x,y,z in the world.  The truth is multilayered and can’t be attributed to an overall state of lack because that simply isn’t true.  There are finite resources of specific things yes.  If we are all attempting to live the exact same life and paradigm, there isn’t enough room for that—we aren’t meant to all live the exact same way.  Once we understand that which we need to truly sustain is limitless, we open up avenues to resources we didn’t consider when trying to adhere to the limited thinking of others.  Imagination is limitless and we were meant to use it.  What we need for our particular brand is limitless.  And when we find our path and walk with belief and trust, we will see that our flow will never run out.
