The quote of the week reminds us of life’s tiny miracles.
I visit the lettuces I grew from tiny starts, now luscious rosettes of tender leaves, and cut a head for dinner. This, in particular, astonishes me. I put a tiny thing in dirt. I added water. I waited. And now I am eating a salad? Absurd. A miracle that humans have somehow normalized.
– Suleika Jaouad, activist, artist, and author
Dear Reader,
This lovely essay from Suleika Jaouad, activist, artist, and author of Between Two Kingdoms, is today’s reminder of the everyday miracles that surround us. A tiny seed becomes a head of lettuce. Monarch butterflies arriving in Mexico or California each fall are the great-great-grandchildren of the butterflies that left the previous spring. A star becomes a supernova scattering dust that becomes you and me and everyone else on Earth.
What everyday miracle still stuns you? Tell Dot!
Miraculously,
Dot
