Miracles

In the aftermath of the tornado that took out nearly an entire Kansas town, a few survivors were found buried in the rubble.

Babies are born, children learn to read, people manage to find true love despite many distractions.

And in my garden today, the first yellow iris began to bloom under the lilacs, which have no sign now of the strange brown leaf rot.



Life will continue, despite problems, long after we are gone -- and this is the best reason I can think of to maintain HOPE.
