The Miracle of Love



The miracle of love is that it takes many forms.  We experience it as kindness, giving, mercy, compassion, peace, joy, acceptance, non-judgment, joining, and intimacy.
  We see miracles everyday, but we forget them just as quickly.


“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.” 
 Thích Nhất Hạnh


The miracle of love is that it is eternal and everlasting. When we return to love, when we put love back in our hearts, there is a complete transformation of everything we see, hear, smell, taste,  and touch.


As Marianne Williamson said in her book A Return To Love:

"There would be no war because we wouldn’t fight.  There would be no hunger because we would feed each other. There would be no environmental breakdown because we would love ourselves, our children and our planet too much to destroy it.  There would be no prejudice, oppression, or violence of any kind.
     There would be no sorrow.  There would only be peace."
