The age of big miracles is past
No more does God part the sea.
No more does he carry a mountain
on his little finger
No more does he raise people from the dead
No more does he spring out of a pillar
to save his devotee.
There are no more miracles today.
Or are there?
And maybe
God has no smart phone and no FB account
No Instagram and no Snapchat
So his miracles don’t go viral anymore
And maybe it is too much of trouble
to create such grand gestures
which no one will notice
Maybe he gives us byte size miracles:
A tiny plant pushing its way through the cracks
The smile of a baby
The butterfly that sits on you
The friend that messages you
just when you need someone to howl to.
Yes, Miracles do happen
It’s just that they have changed their form.

I recollected a poem that I learnt as a child. It goes like this..Little drops of water, little drops of sand, make the great big ocean and the lovely land.
The little things when put together have the mighty power. The everyday miracles which we have stopped noticing actually make up what we have with us, the greatest miracle in entire universe…”Life” and “being alive”.
Concise and powerful post Sunita
Sunita you are too good.
Thank you Swati!
Tiny miracles are the most important. Thanks for the reminder, Sunita.
Absolutely! Miracles do happen everyday and are all around us. All we need is the outlook and mindset to see them. Lovely expression!
Lovely and thought provoking…liked it very much!
