Small miracles









Last week I planted flats of seeds to start my vegetable garden.  I am always in awe of these dull gray and black grains' ability to transform themselves.  In just days, small lettuce shoots and tomato plants poked their heads above the soil into the larger world.  And in a week, they have become small plants


The leap from dormancy to life, rate of growth, the speed of transformation is nothing short of a miracle.  But how often do we ignore the miracles all around us, the miracles in our life?
