“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, Buddhist monk
Today is his birthday

 


READ Thomas Merton's 
brief essay:
Thich Nhat Hanh is my Brother
