“It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious "impossible" which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his might actions comprehensible to our finite minds.”
— Madeleine L'Engle

Are we missing the magic of life by trying to make sense of everything? Madeleine L'Engle beautifully challenges us to expand our worldview: 'It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast...' Instead of shrinking faith to fit our finite minds, let's embrace the glorious impossible that gives our lives true dignity and meaning.

About this quote
In our daily pursuit of certainty and control, we often forget the profound magic of embracing the unknown. Madeleine L'Engle reminds us that life is not meant to be neatly categorized by our finite logic; rather, it invites us to stretch our hearts toward the impossible. When we constantly try to domesticate God or reduce the universe's grand mysteries into comfortable, digestible boxes, we accidentally strip our lives of their deepest meaning and dignity. True wonder begins the moment we release our need for complete understanding and dare to believe in the extraordinary. Imagine starting each morning not with a checklist of anxieties, but with a wide-open heart ready to receive the miraculous. By practicing belief in the seemingly impossible—whether it is radical hope in the face of despair, unexpected healing, or the quiet grace of everyday synchronicities—we align ourselves with a reality far greater than our own. This mindset shift transforms the mundane into the sacred, turning ordinary mornings into portals of divine possibility. Let this be your gentle nudge to stop shrinking your dreams and faith to fit human limits, and instead, step boldly into the glorious expanse of the impossible.
