Like a Break in the Battle

We live in a most amazing age, or could if we coudget out of our own way.

As residents of a planet where, via the electric fire of television, we watched the murder of a President, a walk (actually more like a skip) on the moon, the tearing down of a Wall that divided a continent and a nation, and the destruction of buildings and thousands of lives in a flash of jet fuel, steel and glass, it's sometimes easy to forget we are, each of us, skin- covered miracles.

Helping underscore this assumption (actually for me, more like an article of faith) I can offer you only one example as 'proof', conceding I don't know that it proves anything but, everyday we get up and amaze and amuse, often in unequal parts, the other seven billion or so of us on this ant farm (with beepers) we call home.

Some days are so hard, it's almost impossible to celebrate yourself, no matter how important that is to do--it's okay, watch this, and celebrate someone else, and know we can do this, too.
