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

Rabbi Heschel said we don’t need any more textbooks. We need textpeople.
Thich Nhat Hanh was one of the great textpersons of the last one hundred years.

If you know how to make good use of the mud, you can grow beautiful lotuses. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
