“There are only two ways to live your life. One is
as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a
miracle.”
-Albert Einstein.
I can't remember exactly what happened last week. Maybe I read it in a book, maybe I happened on it in my inner monologue, maybe it was all that and more combined. It was a sudden realization that everything on this Earth, every single thing, was the result of tiny little miracles, and that it was all infinitely beautiful.
The way the water glitters in the sun is beautiful, and the way Eskimos have so many words for snow is beautiful, and the way my hand fits right on his waist is beautiful, and how we've made hundreds of thousands of songs out of the same seven notes is beautiful, and the way smoke curls and moves is beautiful, and the millions of miraculous mysteries of the human body are beautiful, the fact that all I have to do for food is but an egg in hot water for twenty minutes is beautiful, and that I can write these words and the whole world can read them is beautiful, and combustion engines and garbage trucks and silt and trees and video games and theatre and blood and paper and metals and smoothies and diet soda and air and mountains and coffee and sleazy diners and comic books and riots and protests and suburbs and the varieties of human emotion and the evils that people choose to do(which are beautiful because it means that we can choose to be good and kind, that we have a choice-beauty that exists in the negative spaces is beauty, too) and relativity and colors and all the things we don't know, because there's beauty in the possibilities that we can't even comprehend yet.
And there's a definite beauty in the way just thinking about the miraculous things in the world, and all the miracles that happened to get us here, totally zens me out. I was angry, and now I've got nothing but inner peace.
There
are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a
miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
