Miracles Happen Miracles seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes see and our ears can hear what there is about us always. by Willa Carther as quoted in the book The Miracle Chase by Joan Luise Hill, Katie Mahon, and Mary Beth Phillips, PhD Loved this quote. Miracles do happen all around us everyday. Each of the authors experienced a miracle and that started their quest, the miracle chase. It reminded me of something I experienced when my oldest had both his arm bones badly broken. He needed to be anesthetized and the bones reset. The doctor told us flat out that it was a very bad break and that he didnt think the bones would reset. He was preparing us for metal plates, screws, complicated surgery, etc. I was stunned. As soon as our son was wheeled off to surgery I started praying to Mother Mary. I felt so incredibly helpless and hopeless after that blunt prognosis that that was the only thing I could think of to do. Somewhere in the middle of praying (and crying a lot) I had a vision of two praying hands that were glowing and the words magic hands came to my mind. I somehow knew that that was what I needed to focus on - praying for the doctors hands to be magic. It sounds silly, but I just knew that it was what I needed to do and so I did. When the doctor came out of surgery, he had a broad grin on his face and gave us the news that the bones miraculously (yes he did use that word) reset. I have no doubt in my mind that we were witness to a miracle that day. Somehow it all came together. Somehow we were blessed. I do believe that miracles are all around us and happen all the time. It is about becoming more aware and opening your perceptions more to be able to experience them more consciously.
