Excerpt from "Everyday Grace" by Marianne Williamson

On what a miracle looks like and how one can allow them into his/her life...

"Perhaps the miracle arrives in the form of an insight that unlocks a riddle in your life, reconciliation with someone, or the opening of a door that had long remained closed.  Try as you might, your efforts to break through using your talents, your power of rational analysis, or sheer force of will had remained fruitless.  It was only when you put God first-when your heart softened, you stopped blaming, you stopped talking so much and started to truly listen-that some wall of resistance began to crumble.  You had not done anything so much as you had released the energies of self-will.  You had asked, in a way, that God's will be done.  A miracle occurred not because you caused it but because you allowed it.  In the words of writer Willa Cather, "Where there is a great love, there  are always miracles."

This just feels so good to me...      Namaste'
