This world is full of miracles.
They stand in shining silence next to every dream of pain and suffering.

The body is released because the mind acknowledges ‘this is not done to me, but I [...]

{“Surrendering” by Freydoon Rassouli}
“You cannot wake yourself.
You can let yourself be awakened.”
~A Course in Miracles

Miracle

Listen!
Do you hear it?
I do.
I can feel it.

Listen!

all the doorbells; porches are cells for prayer.
Religion has touched your throat. Not the same now,
you could close your eyes and go on full of light.
And it is already begun, the chord
that will shiver [...]

If you say the right words, the wine expands.
If you say them with love
and the felt ferocity of that love
and the felt necessity of that love,
the fish explode into the many.
Imagine him, speaking,
and don’t worry about what is reality,
or what is plain, or what is mysterious.
If you were [...]
