It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Daily Miracle

Autumn - Changing seasons in Russell Square, a photo by Palojono on Flickr.

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
