Ordinary and miraculous

The great lessons from the true mystics, from the Zen monks,
is that the sacred is in the ordinary,
that it is to be found in one's daily life,
in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's back yard,
and that travel may be a flight from confronting the sacred.
To be looking everywhere for miracles is a sure sign
of ignorance that everything is miraculous.
