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.

Don't know whether you went, but Thich Nhat Hanh was in LA this last weekend for the LA Peace Walk (see Cindy Sheehan's article on the walk). I had wanted to go myself, but had prior obligations. Nice blog, by the way.
