One miracle out of many:
a small, airy cloud
yet it can block a large and heavy moon.
Several miracles in one:
an alder tree reflected in the water,
and that it’s backwards left to right
and that it grows there, crown down
and never reaches the bottom,
even though the water is shallow.
…
First among equal miracles:
cows are cows.
Second to none:
just this orchard
from just that seed.
…
A miracle, less surprising than it should be:
even though the hand has fewer than six fingers,
it still has more than four.
…
An additional miracle, as everything is additional:
the unthinkable
is thinkable.
