Love the 60's picture! Love the Article - we are happy as babies & children! once we reach school we have the dominating societal structures of how society thinks we should think! we are not all the same in our wants or needs, (this is where your article advises to go
within-to find who we are, the answers for ourselves lie within) but we are all the same in the fact that we "all came with nothing & we all leave with nothing" the life in-between should be happy and peaceful! thankyou Meredith:_)
Always wonderful to read your comments Amilia. And this one is particularly great. You’re so right, we all come alone and leave alone and life in between should be beautiful, yet we spend so much of our time worrying, in self-doubt and not the happy beings that we should be. You’ve gotta get back to the Truth. The Reality. And focus on who we are. Then life will transform.
I agree with you 100% Meredith:_) The Truth lies in Reality - if we can access this in the present moment, we can bring ourselves back to who we are - practice, practice, practice - we where already their once from birth & in childhood:_) The Movement of Positive Transformation!
What I love here is that you refuse to paint miracles as lightning bolts or rare exceptions — instead, you anchor them in the daily texture: parking spaces, sunrises, small gestures. That’s where wonder survives. But there’s also a knife-edge in your essay: the danger of confusing fullness with comfort. True wholeness isn’t a lullaby; it’s the silence that dissolves the restless need to grab more. That silence can feel terrifying before it feels miraculous.
Your piece makes that paradox clear — the ordinary becomes extraordinary not by adding glitter, but by stripping away the illusion of lack. That’s not a soft miracle. That’s a hard, enduring one.
This speaks to me in so many ways, from following the fairies to believing in everyday miracles, and inviting in the extraordinary. So many parts of this writing bring me back to the journey with my beloved and his battle with cancer. He also used that Einstein quote in his book. I choose to live each day as a miracle (even though that doesn’t mean I always get what I want). It means I get to be part of the boundless love of the universe and so does everything else. Thanks for subscribing and reading about my journey, it means a lot! 🙏🏼Here is my post that shares about my journey with fairies and miracles of a different kind. 💫
Thanks for sharing 😊
Its not about perfection - it’s about perspective

I really thought I replied to this. I’m sorry. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I did reply to that one 🙏🤍
Pressure builds when we forget who we are. Presence begins when we remember. 😊
Yes, that’s it Eleni. Well said 🤍
This is so True Meredith.
When we live from that perspective and see through the Eyes of a child...innocent, playful Love, our world transforms✨️🎉
Thanks, Vivienne. There is nothing more beautiful to witness than an adult without ego. They are so childlike — free, full of love and playfulness 🤍
I love that quote about miracles. It is the same thing with wonder. Thank you for this reflective piece.
You’re very welcome 🙏
