Attending the Miracle is a worldwide community of people who live with disabling conditions. As a positive resource, a focal point, and a forum, Attending the Miracle is a powerful way for individuals, families, and professionals to find inspiration, learning and networking; a path to recognition and expression of their extraordinary viewpoints in the world.

Attending the Miracle

Life does not necessarily go the way we think it should. Life may feel like a disaster sometimes. Sometimes we seem stuck spiritually between the ancient times of miracles and the present, when it takes every ounce of effort to overcome adversity. We look at the time of miracles with doubt. We try to explain and rationalize it into historical perspective. What happened to the time when a holy man could just say words that would solve the problem for us, like Jesus raising Lazarus?

Attending the Miracle is a sequence of workshops, a network, and a forum for open communication that can help improve the lives of individuals and families, whatever share of worldly suffering and joy they may claim as their own.

By Attending the Miracle, we can learn that miracles have always been a process. Miracles are not magic tricks. Miracles take time and require great human effort, sometimes deep suffering, often a dizzying sense of confusion. In fact, there seem to be no miracles ever performed without the passion of pure labor. Most miracles are beyond what feels possible - certainly beyond what feels comfortable. Miracles require Profound Attention, a neurological state that we learn in the workshop titled Light and Gravity. We must Attend the Miracle for the Miracle to be completed; to be real. Immersed in doubt, fear, discomfort, pain, confusion, or ecstasy, we can still live passionately, intelligently, and generously by learning to Attend the Miracle around us.
