every present moment is a miracle
Why ! who makes much of miracle ?
As to me, I know of nothing
else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of
Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs
of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with the naked feet
along the beach, just in the edge of
the
water,
Or stand under the tress in the,
woods,
Or talk by day with any one I
love -- or sleep in the bed at
night with
any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with
my mother
To me, every hour of the light
and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
To me the sea is continual
miracle;
The fishes that swim -- the
rocks -- the motion of the
waves -- the ships,
with men in them,
What stranger miracles are
there ?
-- Walt Whitman
