I often think about the reason we don't see miracles is because of our relationship to time. If a flower bloomed from a seed in the span of a second, we would believe we'd seen a miracle. We'd watch our own bodies grow and disintegrate in a hallucinatory rush -- which is to say, and I think I'm agreeing with you here -- that we're floating in sea of the miraculous.
A wonderfully thoughtful and thought-provoking essay… I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sincerely, Frederick
Thank you very much!
