Rare miracles, commonplace miracles
I tend to think that miracles are a driving force in the world's destiny.
Little miracles, motivated by ego or greed, sometimes happen. This is the message of books like Real Magic and Extraordinary Knowing, and Phenomena. But the larger message is that invisible miracles are carrying a Destiny into the Universe. The origin of life, evolution, and the great, contingent events that shaped human history are all the handiwork of unimaginably beautiful and inscrutable Nature.
