- Ralph Waldo Emerson
To me, there is great magic and wonder of the fact that I wake up every morning. How in the heck did this happen? How did I get here, and who and what am I, anyway? Just being alive and able to love and dream and wonder is incredible. On top of the marvels of basic human existence, we now have the extraordinary technology to restart a failing heart; to communicate with and rescue someone stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean; to fly a healthy kidney packed in dry ice across the country, surgically transplant it, and prolong the life of a child. Some people spend their whole lives searching for proof of the existence of God, when their very desire and ability to search at all is proof enough that the Universe is a place of divine love and intelligence.
