Epiphany


      Isn't it great to be surprised by how wonderful small events can be? Is this happening less and less frequently to you? It's not aging - it's an attitude thing. We need to be receptive - like being able to laugh spontaneously and wholeheartedly at jokes. We need to cultivate an open heart to be porous enough for these simple yet truly wonderful everyday blessings to enter our lives.

     “An epiphany is the conscious recognition that the mind’s edge has dissolved and a discovery is in the making. You see something about the world you had not seen before, and … you see something about yourself.”

       Jauregui A. Epiphanies. Where Science and Miracles Meet. Atria Books, NY, 2007.
