Miracles

At every moment, in each thing, a miracle occurs far transcendent of even the splitting of the Red Sea: Existence is renewed out of the void, and a natural order is sustained where there should be chaos.

Indeed, it is not the miracle that is wondrous, but the natural order. Does anyone have a good reason why gravity should behave today the way it behaved yesterday? Does anyone have a good reason why there should be anything at all?

Real Motives

No person can know his own inner motives.


He may be kind because kindness brings him pleasure.


He may be wise because wisdom is music to his soul.


He may become a martyr burned in fire because his nature is to defy, his nature is to be fire.


When can you know that your motives are sincere? Only when it is not within your nature to do this thing.


And how do you know that it is not within your nature? Only when you travel two opposite paths at once.


T. Freeman
