Frozen miracles in unexpected places

Here for now

There’s a spot near the rusting sewer grate where paper-thin ice meets gritty asphalt, where the forces of nature shape and reshape the landscape seemingly by the minute.

So we stop what we’re doing and stare intently at the seemingly unremarkable scene halfway between the dog’s sniffling nose and our slush-covered boots.

There’s no big reason to do so. In fact, almost nobody does. Stop, that is. Too busy chasing the remarkable to pay much attention to the mundane.

But this is just one scene, and the planet is filled with countless battles between unseen forces of nature, between the dog’s nose and the tips of our boots, wherever we happen to be.

We’d know that if we looked down. We’d know that if we took the time to look for ephemeral miracles in unexpected places.
