although all things
are present, a
fact a day a
bird that warps the
arithmetic of per-
fection with its
arc, passing again &
again in the evening
air, in the pre-
vailing wind, making no
mistake—yr in-
difference is yr
principal beauty
the mind says all the
time—I hear it—I
hear it every-
where. The earth
said remember
me. I am the
earth it said. Re-
member me.

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle” attributed to Einstein but evidence is lacking…
You are Correct!
It’s all a miracle. Even when I can’t feel it.
Yes!
I believe in miracles. The fact that we are here, is not even a fraction that miracle is real.
You are RIGHT Maria!
It’s meant to feel like 24 degrees in Toronto tomorrow… at the end of October! I wish we would remember the earth…
Ouch, thanks cold Laila. They are calling for 55° F tomorrow!
I meant Celsius! It’s 25 this afternoon. Absolutely wild, and so scary what we’ve done to the climate 😭
so many miracles in life, both big and small
There are!
