People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
~Thich Nhat Hanh

The quote is beautiful, but it pales next to the picture of this amazingly beautiful baby…I couldn’t stop staring at the photo – trying to see what those eyes were reflecting, the perfection of that wistful little face. I was a little hypnotized.
Rarely does anything pale next to Thich Nhat Hanh’s wisdom, but I’m with you on this. This baby is hypnotizing. Spectacular picture.
Ditto… baby’s eyes are so hyptonical and soulful…beautiful!!
Wow, this child is mesmerizing. The face is that of a child, but the eyes, ah, the eyes are that of an old soul. I, too, keep going back to look….
Yes, Lori, magic, hypnotic, beautiful. All rolled into one…
I totally agree.
Oh those eyes! Starburst of wonder! Spectacular image once again to accompany a spectacular quote….”all is a miracle.”

Too beautiful not to share this morning… 🙂
I agree Carol. Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful child..her eyes are amazing.
Yes, almost too beautiful (if you follow my drift). Doctored or not (who knows these days) – this photo was going to be shared. Moving picture.
David,
I have been away for a while- obligations from my other life, traveling, speeches. Now I’m home, doing what I love. Reading and writing. Coming here is so good. A source of energy and inspiration.
We often wonder what good comes of our work. You should not wonder. Your messages are a gift that goes out into the world creating ripples of energy and mindfulness that collide with other ripples and remake the world.
Thank you.
Tom
Tom, thank you. Your words once again have moved me. And have spurred me to continue on. Thank you for sharing and for stopping by. Dave

I’ve also reposted this on my blog and I’m sending to my FB page too. Thank you so much for sharing this. It is especially meaningful to me today as I sit with my brand new baby granddaughter in my arms.
Hi Deborah. Thanks for sharing. This photo must have had particular meaning for you then. There was Karmic alignment here.
I think so. Who is the photographer? I’d like to let people know and see more of her/his work.

Hi Sandra…thank you.
What an image! Those big eyes and the tiny innocent mouth.
Yes. Awesome photo…Eyes are magic.
Everything is a miracle…its to bad that we don’t take the time to realize that.
Fascinating picture. Every feature on her face is amazingly perfect.
Beautiful child (aren’t they all)
Unbelievable, that image, those eyes – she is truly present. And yet…her eyes contain so much!
Yes, yes they do…
