My porch. Do you believe in miracles?

I love my new screened in porch. Maria and I sat out there well into the night catching a breeze, listening to the bugs and bats flittering around  away from us. A friend sent me a wonderful Einstein quote I’ve seen before but always love to hear:

“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

I’ve swung both ways. I tend to believe everything is a miracle; everything is for a reason; life happens when you allow it to occur. Fear and convention are miracle killers. So is the belief that money beings security, or that you can live a secure life if you stay in a life you hate.
