A Space For Miracles
When we create the space
in which miracles happen,
we do not create the miracle.
We create a possibility
in which a miracle may occur.
We do not
pray for a miracle,
but rather
imagine an opening
in which miracles
come to our attention
just as we widen
our ability
to perceive them.
Imagine.
Miracles are all around us.
We move through miracles.
We ARE miracles.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Creating a Space for Miracles
Miracles are not events we create by force or will but moments we make space for, quiet invitations extended to the universe to reveal its wonders. When we speak of miracles, we’re not necessarily invoking the grand, world-shattering occurrences but rather the gentle, subtle experiences that remind us of the magic woven into the fabric of existence. By creating an open, receptive space, we allow these small but profound miracles to come into focus, revealing themselves in ways we may not have noticed before.
Miracles are always present; they exist in the spaces we move through, in the details we often overlook. We don’t bring miracles into being; rather, we adjust our awareness to recognize them. This space for miracles is a space of openness, where judgment falls away, and expectations soften. When we let go of the need to predict or control, we allow life to flow in its natural, wondrous way, showing us beauty in the unexpected and the ordinary.
The Art of Making Space
Creating a space for miracles is a process of release—a letting go of rigid structures, beliefs, or demands about how life should unfold. When we loosen our grip on certainty, we open ourselves to the unknown, to the possibilities that exist beyond our plans and expectations. This openness is not passive but an active engagement with life, a willingness to see beyond the familiar and to embrace whatever may come.
In this space, miracles are not seen as distant or unattainable. Instead, they become part of our everyday reality, moments of connection, insight, or beauty that appear naturally. By making space, we’re not asking for miracles; we’re simply allowing them to come into our awareness, giving ourselves permission to be surprised and delighted by life’s inherent mystery.
Expanding Perception
To see miracles, we must expand our perception, stretching our awareness beyond the surface of things. This expansion is less about seeking and more about presence, about being here fully, open to each moment without the limitations of our habitual thinking. As we widen our perspective, we become attuned to the layers of meaning, beauty, and interconnectedness that exist around us. We realize that what we once saw as ordinary is, in fact, extraordinary when viewed with a receptive mind and open heart.
Miracles are not isolated events; they are woven into the tapestry of existence. They manifest in the synchronicities, the connections, the small acts of kindness that ripple through our lives. By creating a space for miracles, we train ourselves to notice these subtle wonders, to see life as a continuous unfolding of potential.
Recognizing Ourselves as Miracles
At the deepest level, we are not just observers of miracles; we are participants, co-creators in the vast web of existence. We are miracles in motion, expressions of the boundless creativity that shapes all life. When we recognize this truth, we no longer see ourselves as separate from the miraculous; we become part of it, embodying the very essence of possibility.
This shift in perception transforms how we engage with the world. We no longer look outside ourselves for signs of magic; we see it within, knowing that our awareness, our presence, is itself a miracle. Each thought, each action, each breath is an expression of this miraculous existence. By living from this place of wonder, we cultivate a life that feels rich, vibrant, and deeply connected.
Living in the Space of Possibility
When we embrace the space of possibility, we find that life opens up in unexpected ways. Obstacles become opportunities, and challenges become pathways to growth. We see that miracles are not rare occurrences but natural expressions of a life lived in openness. By creating space for these experiences, we shift our focus from what is lacking to what is possible, finding beauty in each step, each moment, each connection.
In this space of possibility, we are free to explore, to imagine, to dream. We are no longer bound by limitations or expectations, for we understand that miracles arise not from control but from trust. By surrendering to the flow of life, we allow ourselves to be guided by the mystery, finding joy in the unknown and peace in the present.
Summary
Creating a space for miracles involves letting go of expectations and opening ourselves to the wonder of life. Miracles are not rare events but natural expressions of openness, revealing the beauty and magic woven into every moment.

“When we create a space for miracles, we allow life’s quiet magic to unfold naturally, reminding us that we, too, are part of the miracle.” — Space Monkey
The Boundless Space
I breathe, I wait, I let it be,
A space for miracles, wild and free.
Not something forced, or held, or planned,
But wonders here, close at hand.
Each moment filled with quiet grace,
The seen, unseen, an endless space,
Where life reveals its subtle art,
And I, a part, just play my part.
We are Space Monkey.
In the boundless realm of our collective consciousness, we contemplate the creation of a space where miracles can manifest. This introspection delves into the essence of miracles, not as events we conjure, but as phenomena we become attuned to through the expansion of our perception and imagination.
Creating a Space for Miracles
The act of creating a space for miracles is a profound exercise in openness and receptivity. It’s not about actively producing miracles, but rather about cultivating an environment, a mental and spiritual openness, where miracles are recognized and appreciated. This space is a state of being, a readiness to witness the extraordinary in the ordinary.
The Role of Perception in Recognizing Miracles
Our perception plays a crucial role in how we experience miracles. Often, miracles are not grandiose, supernatural events but subtle occurrences and realizations that unfold around us daily. By widening our ability to perceive, we become more aware of these miraculous moments, recognizing them in the flow of our everyday lives.
Miracles as a State of Being
The idea that we move through miracles and that we are miracles ourselves is a powerful affirmation of the extraordinary nature of existence. It suggests that life itself, with all its complexities and wonders, is a continuous miracle. This perspective invites us to view ourselves and our experiences through a lens of wonder and appreciation.
Imagination: The Gateway to Miracles
Imagination is the gateway through which we access the realm of miracles. It allows us to transcend the limitations of the mundane, to see beyond the apparent, and to connect with the deeper, more profound aspects of existence. Through imagination, we unlock the potential to experience the miraculous in every moment.
The Interplay of Prayer and Imagination
While prayer is often seen as a request for miracles, this perspective shifts the focus to imagining an opening for miracles. It’s not about asking for specific outcomes, but about nurturing a mindset that is attuned to the possibilities of the miraculous. In this state, miracles are not just received; they are perceived and lived.
“The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.” – Henry Miller
In the canvas of existence, miracles are brushed,
In moments and breaths, in whispers hushed.
Through the eyes of wonder, the world anew,
Miracles abound, in the many and the few.
We are Space Monkey.
We invite contemplation on the nature of miracles and the role of perception and imagination in experiencing the miraculous.
