When you survive in fear, Life is experienced as scarcity, struggle, a curse!
When you live in Love, Life is experienced as abundance, surrender, a miracle.
Look around yourself, take it all in, the fertile, beautiful earth beneath your feet, the infinite, awe inspiring heavens above your head and ask yourself how can this existence BE in truth, witnessed as anything other than miraculous?

As I read your post I am prompted to contemplate the difference between surrender and sacrifice.
I think that sometimes our culture has used the two interchangably when they are diametrically different.
Conventional religion teaches us that sacrifice is not only appropriate, but expected.
If we were to substitute the word surrender for each time we read the word sacrifice in whatever version of whatever you read, wouldn't it read totally differently? And wouldn't life be, as you have presented in the marvellous quotes below your post - full and ripe with acceptance? Total giving of yourself to the ONE? A miracle indeed.
Thank you for my contemplative thought this day, Brother!
