For a long time a friend of mine was following “A Course In Miracles.” Their definition of Miracle: “A change in perception.”

The pH of seawater happens to be identical to that of human blood. Coincidence?

I do not consider myself a Christian but I am a big fan of some of the things Jesus was said to have said and done; and on occasion I have cheerfully invoked the thanksgiving prayer “Rub a dub dub–thanks for the grub–Yaaaaaaaay, JESUS!”

I am also a big fan of s. harris and his many intelligent and yet belly-laugh-demanding cartoons. Check him out sometime, if you haven’t–he’s Miraculous!

Here are the words to the double-letter-adjacent quadruple quadrimetric acrostic:

Twixt pad of toad & eye of newt
Raw Magic warps the eye & ear
Eternal Music plucks the lute
Aeolian susurrant sea
Dry eyes may mist from things half heard where Miracles are not absurd
