This wisdom is available to everyone who listens.
“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.” C.S. Lewis (British Scholar and Novelist. 1898-1963)
“I think miracles exist in part as gifts and in part as clues that there is something beyond the flat world we see.” Peggy Noonan (American Journalist, Author and Political analyst, b.1950)
