This Week’s Quotation:
“These words from the Bible speak about our relationship with God the Possible: Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Stripped of religion, this verse is about what can happen when we are on good terms with the possible. It makes it clear that, to begin with, we have not even thought about what is possible, much less allowed it to manifest. We have not seen it, we have not heard it, and it has not entered our heart or mind.
What is our role in all this? It is to open ourselves to a relationship with the possible in such away that its warmth can be seen and heard and felt with the heart. When we are open in this way, the possible shows up in our feeling perception and in our thoughts, and perhaps in the people and circumstances around us.”
—David Karchere Becoming a Sun p. 40
What More Is Possible
These words of David’s are filled with vision and inspiration. There is so much that is possible when we are open to it.
Albert Einstein is often credited with saying, “There are two ways to live your life. One is as though there are no miracles. The other is that everything is a miracle.” This invites us to live with open hearts and minds, to recognize the possibilities that surround us, and to be willing to become the means through which amazing things happen.
When we are open to the possible, we are open to miracles. And what is a miracle? Is it an unexpected blessing, a sense of peace, a surprising experience of love that begins to move what once felt stuck, or a problem that finds its way toward resolution? Perhaps a miracle can be as simple as waking up to another day filled with possibility.
I consider my own body a miracle. I don’t take it for granted. When we pause to consider all that happens within us every day, it is truly amazing. I’m not speaking of unexpected cures or extraordinary events. We breathe, we move, we eat, and we digest, most often without having to think about any of it. Life is continually unfolding within us, offering us countless reasons for wonder and gratitude.
What more might be possible if we consciously opened ourselves to what we cannot yet see?
Feelings of discouragement and grief can sometimes become barriers to experiencing possibility. Yet they can also serve as reminders that there may be more available to us than we can currently perceive. Even when life feels heavy, there may be unseen support, unexpected openings, and new beginnings waiting to emerge.
I invite myself, and each of us, to soften and receive the loving support of this benevolence—to trust that there is goodness available to us, even when we cannot yet recognize it.
We can welcome the possible and be the means for the amazing.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
