I think we are saying the same thing in different ways. Always good to have your thoughts. Many thanks.<br /><br /><b>ds </b><br />Absolutely. And my thanks to you for the comment.<br /><br /><b>Jeanette </b><br />I think you have a talking - or at very least, a thinking - point there. I've often wondered how animals react mentally to something completely outside their experience. Do they wonder about it? If not like us, then in some other way?<br /><br /><b>Kat </b><br />I've always used "tag" to mean "name". I still do despite it's other, more widely spread use. Funny though, I don't use "gay" in its old sense any more...<br /><br /><b> Ygraine</b><br />You are right about there being so many miracles. They happen all around us, all the time. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Enchanted Oak </b><br />Thank you so much for this very supportive comment. Such comments really do mean a lot.<br /><br /><b>booguloo </b><br />Thank you. Always good to have your reactions.<br /><br /><b>The Elephant's Child </b><br />Thanks for saying. Good to have you visiting.<br /><br /><b>Helen </b><br />I did, I did, I did! Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Yup, it's a smiley subject all right.<br /><br /><b>haricot </b><br />Thank you for that great thought.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-51351433246055251412012-02-17T08:22:26.205+00:002012-02-17T08:22:26.205+00:00If we could see our lives are miracles, how it wou...If we could see our lives are miracles, how it would be wonderful.

These lines are spectacular:<br /><br />"The growing child does not display<br />the way a billion axons meet<br />their dendrites in the dark."<br /><br />Your whole poem feels that same way, strong, intriguing, uniquely said.Enchanted Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815997287116818456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-26811461933171942152012-02-16T20:45:45.209+00:002012-02-16T20:45:45.209+00:00The depth of understanding in this wonderful poem ...The depth of understanding in this wonderful poem is truly awe-inspiring to me.<br />There are so many miracles happening every single day of our lives, yet we all too often fail to recognise them.<br />Thank you so much for opening my eyes, Dave :)Ygrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-16259847468099166952012-02-16T20:42:35.585+00:002012-02-16T20:42:35.585+00:00Interesting how you use the word, "tag" ...Interesting how you use the word, "tag" which today is linked with social media and connecting others to a thought or idea. We "tag" when we want to "share" a video, or a news item - minor miracles get "tagged" all the time in this sense.<br /><br />I can't help but think of the un-dead in "Dracula" when you reference that miracle of waking up to find oneself alive. (I'll get past these references soon - on to "The Woman in White"!)<br /><br />Your last line is filled with glee!Kat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-35123465967193082112012-02-16T20:40:42.649+00:002012-02-16T20:40:42.649+00:00I hadn't thought of miracles that way.

And a child may be the most wondrous of all--leastwise to our species.<br /><br />I wonder whether a cat or dog sense the miracles, when their kittens and puppies are suddenly there?<br /><br />Never mind. Clearly I need my meds...<br /><br />How I love it when you make me think.JeannetteLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528285846408727632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-1986412069880213132012-02-16T20:30:28.315+00:002012-02-16T20:30:28.315+00:00Yes, children are miracles.

Your line about their fundamental invisibility has really sparkled for me, the rest of the poem is again a feat to be read and reread.<br /><br />And how true that work for the growing child is underground.<br /><br />I would add: miracles are only for those who can see them.<br />Rather obvious but, I feel, all the same worth underlining.Tommaso Gervasuttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137499390434949734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-56887785004402683572012-02-16T19:36:03.537+00:002012-02-16T19:36:03.537+00:00our lives and our ability to think and feel, our s...our lives and our ability to think and feel, our spark of consciousness, indeed is miraculous.Ray Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070494466544678929noreply@blogger.com
