MIRACLES OF LIFE There are moments in life when we catch our breath and glimpse God s presence.

Sometimes it is when we see the radiant face of a sleeping child,sometimes it is when we hear a fragment of melody that stirs awake an unfamiliar yearning. Every leaf,every blade of grave beare God s imprint.But these days most of us are urban dwellers leading hectic lives,and have lost the connection to the earth that enriched our forefathers and helped them see God.Obscured by skycrapers and the haze of polluted skies,we can barely see the stars ,let alone sense a Divine Presence.Living as so many of us do lives of alienation and despair,how can we help ourselves reconnect to God,to one another,to our veryselves? Beyond nature,there are teachers,other experiences that can help us along our journey.They occur within the great universal flow of energy,and require nothing more than our sheer awareness of their presence.When consciousness is cultivated and perception is heightened,these experiences can serve as vital tokens of growth and transformation.To encounter these moments in their fullness and richness,to be aware of their message and hear their music,is truly to know God.And predominant among these experiences is the phenomenon we call coincidences. We firmly believe that coincidences are much more than simple accidents or quirks of fate.To us,coincidences areblessings,the spiritual manna that hosts of angels send down to illuminate our path.Thousands of years ago,God spoke to man through the sublime miracles he performed on massive and grandiose scales.In modern times we are benefit of that privilege. Coincidences can also be seen as oppurtunities for change,vital keys towards expanding our consciousness.If we can learn to become more aware of and attuned to coincidences,more cognizant of their significance,then we will evolve to a higher state of being.When we integrate both the experience and the meaning of coincidences in to our lives,we open ourselves to the enriching possibilities,the blessings and the sense of harmony with the universe that they offer. Today we wrestle with a hidden God,a concealed God,a God who no longer parts seas,stope the sun,or turns people in to the pillars of salt.Instead we have coincidences.Smaller,morepersonal,everyday miracles,For when a coincidence does take place,it is nothing less than God taking us on the shoulder,whispering ,or times even shouting, I m here I m with you!
