EVERYDAY MIRACLE

"Some sceptics say, ‘Oh, the miracles. I can’t accept miracles.’ "Well consider this then. One may drop a brown seed...

in the black soil...

and up comes a green shoot. You let it grow...

and soon enough you’ll pull up a root that is red.
Now you cut that red root and you find it has a white heart.
"Can anyone tell me how this comes about—
how brown cast into black turns up green
with red underneath and white inside?
Yet you eat your radish without even thinking of it as a miracle.…
Everyday is a miracle—a miracle of life that sustains our hope!"

William Jennings Bryan
