Easter blessings

"The miraculous is not extraordinary

but the common mode of existence.

It is our daily bread.

Whoever considered lilies of the field

or birds of the air

and pondered the improbability

of their existence in this warm world 

with the cold and empty stellar distances

will hardly balk at the

turning of water into wine--

which was, after all,

a very small miracle.

We forget the greater

and still continuing miracle by

which water (with soil and sunlight)

is turned to grapes

~ Wendell Berry
