Look for the Miracle!

We sing a song at theAmor Spiritual Center that states I'm looking for a miracle. I love what it brings up within me today. Miracles are around me at every turn if I take a moment to look for them. So much of our lives could best be summed up with a song entitled I'm looking for flaws in you. One of the greatest lessons I have learned on this journey is being aware of where I am placing my focus in life. No matter what others are doing I am still responsible for what I see, feel, and experience in this world. It is so easy to be pulled into other's dramas rather than inviting them into our miracles. Each day is based on thousands of tiny miracle that happen one of which is you. How many will you notice today?

Day 38 Dandelions, take some time today and look at what you are grounded in. What do you believe in? Where are you planting your roots? It is important to know yourself and what you believe.

It is amazing when you look within what you will find. I had no idea that you could make tea out of dandelions until I had a talk with my friend Torito. I am reminded that all medicine was at one time nature based. Growing up in the country, I was amazed at the things my grandparents would give us to help us feel better. A great deal of those things have been replaced with over the counter remedies and we have left behind the things that are freely given in nature.

It is important to be open to new ideas and the willingness to shift our beliefs as we know more. I am amazing at how the knowledge that dandelions has medicinal qualities has effected how I see them. I took the time this morning to look it up and I was amazed at the qualities that it possesses. A great deal of them are things I could really benifit from. (Funny how that works)

How many times in life do we judge something based on the outer appearance? For years, I worked in retail and was taught to look for the people who are ready to buy. Today I know that what I was really being taught was judgmental, and prejudice. Today I am happy to say as a result of this work and going within that I now see the the face of love when I look at others.

I had the honor to meet a young man the other day who was looking for food and asked could I spare a dollar. I usually don't carry cash with me so I asked could I get him some food? He said that the person before me has purchased him a sandwich and he was good but he could use a hug. I opened my arms and we embraced. We were both changed in that moment. He was able to find a safe space within me to cry and I was able to see the divine in him. We both walked away transfromed by the experience.

How much of life do we miss standing in the judgement of others? One of the greatest life lessons I have learned on this journey is about my hidden beliefs. So many of which are not even my beliefs but rather something I picked up along the way from others. That is why it is important to stop, and look at what you are thinking, feeling, and what fear is coming up in us. Fear is a dis-ease that is growing in our community, county, and world. The only cure for fear is love. In order to release the disease I must surrender to the moment and go within to transform the current condition into that which I want to see.

Today not only do I see a thousand wishes when I see the dandelion I see the miracle it holds within. I think I will look inside to see what miracles I hold within myself today. How about you?

I love you,

Rev Allen
