Awaiting Our Little Miracle Quotes

Three, 300, or 3,000 - these are the number of unknown days, a week, a year, or a decade, each far too precious little and yet, poignantly too much at the same time, to see an irrevocably declined loved one languish and suffer. That fear-ridden, irreversible release lingers in the doorway, but hesitates for reasons we don't understand, leaving us to weep with a mixture of angst and gratitude all at the same time. It is finally ushered all the way in, to comfort and carry our loved one to that Better Place. When the time finally comes, we can be enveloped in a warm cloak of long-awaited acceptance and peace that eases our own pain. It quiets the grief which has moaned inside of us, at least some, every single one of those bittersweet days, weeks... or years.

Regardless of our destiny, the clear miracle is that little blobs of protoplasm making up a species barely a hundred thousand years old living in the outskirts of a not especially remarkable galaxy have been able to learn so much about the Universe around us. We have peered back to the moments after the Big Bang, and have inferred the likely fate awaiting trillions of years from now. We have been able to probe the farthest reaches of the Universe by detecting the feeble vibrations of gravitational radiation, and have begun to lift the veil on what planets are out there, and what they may be like. The saga of exploring planetary systems has just begun. There is no limit to what we can accomplish, if we can make it through the next few hundred years without crashing the Earth’s habitability, and without letting the authoritarianism emerging throughout the world crush the human spirit, dividing us one from the other, and separating us from our better natures.
