The Miracle of a Blue Sky

“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
