Everything You Need Is Right Here is the title of Kimberly Schneider’s new book, and the subtitle is “Manifesting Magic and Miracles.” Her main premise is that magic and miracles are all around us, and we just aren’t aware of their presence in our lives.
What magic is around you right now? Around all of us?
The magic of light, and the magic of darkness. As Parker Palmer reminds, we hold both light and darkness within us and once we come to terms with that, we can more fully embrace our true authentic selves.
Striving for perfection is a pointless goal. As Salvador Dali asserts, “Have no fear of perfection. You will never reach it.” I find that freeing.
Perhaps we should strive for being more human—embracing our glorious and imperfect humanity—both the light and the dark of our being. We can lean into the light but acknowledge the darkness so that it doesn’t claim us. We can claim it in order to let the light wash over us.
Maybe both the magic and miracles in this life become more apparent and present when we live whole-heartedly and lean into our humanity and connect with others fully in their humanity. Life is a precious gift. All of life is magic, and all of living is a miracle.
What if we lived our lives as is if we were walking miracles interacting with other miracles—connecting our diving magic with others’ divine magic?
Perhap our world would burst open with more miracles and magic, and we would realize that all we need is right here!!
