"Miracles were those occasions when circumstances conspired to shatter one's preconceptions. They were times of joyful surprise, moments of pleasure. The word miracle comes from the Latin mirari, which means to look upon in wonder. In its etymology lies the warmer meaning of this word. Mirari also came into English as "smile" (from the Book Off the Road: A Modern Day Walk Down the Pilgrim's Route into Spain by Jack Hitt) May you find an occasion today when circumstances conspire to share your preconceptions. May you find yourself or someone else SMILING as you journey today for we are all pilgrims and each day contains miracles.
