Babylonian Waters

• Miracles are what happen when we forget to remember reality as we know it, when we allow our schemas to topple, crumble, and fall away into dust.

I performed a miracle today. Twin rivers of saltwater streamed from dry eyes, washing away the hurt I felt inside.

• Miracles need to be observed, recognized, confirmed. They need a body to witness them, to go forth and testify.

I cried in public today. This miracle was chronicled in the consciousness of another, perhaps to be forgotten in the days to come; perhaps to be remembered when the waters rise again, when I forget to remember what I think I know.
