Magic and Miracles

After spending a week in the Redwoods of California at Camp Abundant, I find myself wondering about the difference between magic and miracles as both were present as part of this amazing, energizing and illuminating event.
The Magic that was created by the messages from leaders in a variety of fields, beauty of the performances, artistry and ceremony was enlightening, mesmerizing and often heartwarming.
Magic takes planning, costumes, props, a lot of practice, and mastery. Spirit can move through magic to create a flow that transcends the practice.
Miracles were the interactions; connections created and shifts that occurred without an agenda or pre-planning. Rather, it was allowing space and Spirit to move amidst the people present.
The natural majesty of the redwoods, the river, and the people gathered were held by the energetic grid that holds us all in unity.
Miracles are born of subtle energy. We have the ability to allow miracles to happen through us. Our willingness to step forward and receive them may contribute as an ingredient but mostly we witness their occurrence. Miracles happen when we do not hold on to a particular outcome or plan all of the variables. It is trusting the Universe and life-force energy to act on our own or another’s behalf.
Some of the miracles I witnessed were in the joy, life changing opportunities that arose. It also showed up in reconciliation, meaningful conversations, and physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
We are being held in love by the planet.
We are part of a community of wholeness that the earth holds.
