Quote #10
Around the world in every place without hope or light, the people stand, faces upturned with wonder. For a brief instant in the long and painful history of the planet, wars stop, blood feuds are forgotten, no one is murdered or desperate or sad. The entire world hesitates, uncertain and amazed. Perhaps, some think, the Red Sea really did part. Perhaps stone tablets truly did come down from the sky. If whales can fly, surely more miracles are possible? Tomorrow another; the day after, another? (46.32)
Okay, but here's the thing: maybe instead of miracles, we could just, you know, have a world that works. Yeah, miracles are impressive and cool and they make great gifts. But wouldn't it be nice if they weren't necessary? It's a real question. Bob would say, definitely not.
