Lesson #204: You are missing the magic right in front of you
Sometimes we get so obsessed with the big neon signs from the universe that we walk straight past the quiet whispers. You might be waiting for the lightning bolt or the sudden epiphany that changes your entire trajectory by Tuesday afternoon. But spirit is usually much quieter than that. It lives in the specific way the light hits your kitchen bench or that song coming on shuffle at the exact right second.
Real magic is actually very ordinary. It is woven into the fabric of your morning commute and the taste of your coffee. When you stop demanding that the universe perform grand tricks for you, you start to see that the show is already happening. You just need to sit in the audience and watch with a bit more curiosity.
Pay attention to the texture of things today. Notice the colour of the sky or the strange coincidence that makes you smile. That sense of awe you are hunting for is not in some distant future version of your life. It is sitting right there in the messy and beautiful now, waiting for you to look at it.
