After our experience at the Body World exhibit and seeing so many displays of the human heart; learning about the miraculous functions it performs day after day, minute after minute, I was reminded of my own family's history of heart disease - fatal for both my father and his father and almost fatal for one of my siblings.
I made choices in my life however to not follow the hereditary patterns. Open heart surgery involving scalpels, stints, blood and the painful recovery was not a part of my vision for my life.

I just returned from experiencing the incredible exhibition Body World, a display of actual human bodies that were donated to science at the time of death and then gone through a process called plastination.
At the beginning of the tour it is made apparent to all visitors that what is central to the exhibition is the heart. It's the first organ formed in the developing fetus and it is the last organ to stop functioning upon death. But along with the physical specimens of hearts, bodies and other organs both healthy and diseased, there were quotes and stories about the spiritual aspects of the heart which drove home the point of what a miracle we each are.
In my writing of the miracle matrix and how we can create miracles each day, seeing this exhibit only reinforces my knowing of this. Our physical design is ineffable. Our spiritual design, that part of us we can't see is even beyond that.
