A quote on “unspeakable perfect miracles” by Walt Whitman
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle, Every cubic inch of space is a miracle, Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same, Every foot of the interior swarms with the same; Every spear of grass – the frames, limbs, organs, of men and…

A quote from Neale Donald Walsch on gratitude
