Miracle Lucky Pay

More From James Patterson

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.

It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season - like all the other seasons - is a good time not only to tell stories of miracles, but to think about the miracles in your own life, and to be grateful for them, and that's the end of this particular story.

It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. when you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. when you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. the common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. if you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

First, let us light the torch of our awareness and learn again how to drink tea, eat, wash dishes, walk, sit, drive, and work in awareness. we do not have to be swept along by circumstances. we are not just a leaf or a log in a rushing river. with awareness, each of our daily acts takes on a new meaning, and we discover that we are more than machines, that our activities are not just mindless repetitions. we find that life is a miracle, the universe is a miracle, and we too are a miracle.

If your skin is crawling, pay attention. if something doesn’t feel right, pay attention. if the hairs on the back of your neck prickle, if your gut clenches up, if a wave of wrongness washes over you, if your heart starts beating faster, pay, pay, pay attention. do not second-guess yourself or rationalize anything that impedes your safety. our instincts are the animal inside of our humanness, warning us of danger.

We must remember that there is a great difference between a myth and a miracle. a myth is the idealization of a fact. a miracle is the counterfeit of a fact. there is the same difference between a myth and a miracle that there is between fiction and falsehood -- between poetry and perjury. miracles belong to the far past and the far future. the little line of sand, called the present, between the seas, belongs to common sense to the natural.

I was weeping again, drunk on the impossible past.
Past Drunk Impossible
Wars make history seem deceptively simple. they provide clear turning points, easy distinctions.: before and after, winner and loser, right and wrong. true history, the past, is not like that. it isn't flat or linear. it has no outline. it is slippery, like liquid; infinite and unknowable, like space. and it is changeable: just when you think you see a pattern, perspective shifts, an alternate version is proffered, a long-forgotten memory resurfaces.
Memories War Past
You know the worst: your wills are fickle, your values blurred, your hearts impure and your past life a ruined church-- but let your poison be your cure.

Hold fast to the best of the past and move fast to the best of the future.
