Yesterday, just before lying down for meditation, I drew an oracle card called Message in a Bottle. I opened a little red book on page 57 that read, ‘Spirit sends you signs when you ask for them, when you believe you will receive them, and when you allow yourself to become fluent in the language of symbols, oracles, and omens.’

I cussed, closed the book, and drew the curtains in. You see, my faith in the goodness of life continues to dwindle due to the ongoing suffering of people around the world. With heavy thoughts and a heavier heart still, I pressed the play button under Michael Sealey’s meditation and proceeded to listen. It was now up to this Soul Whisperer Extraordinaire to bring me back to light.

I must have fallen asleep at some point, because the next thing I know is my little puppy barging into the room and licking my ears, face, and nostrils. I slowly stood up, drew the curtains open, and ‘Oh boy!’ There was this giant rainbow right in front of my window!

After all, ‘Before Alice got to Wonderland, she had to fall pretty hard down a deep hole.’

This miracle of nature served as a gentle reminder that although life is full of pain, it is also full of miracles if one could only take notice of them.
