As you sit here,

I invite you to consider how miraculous it is that this moment is even appearing.

How astounding it is that you are,

That existence exists.

Just allow yourself to marvel at the presence of anything,

The existence of whatever is appearing.

The fact that experience is arising is the most astonishing miracle.

How this moment is even here at all is inconceivable.
