This poem lifts me to remember the miraculous underpinnings of seemingly ordinary encounters. As per "Our Interconnection Saves & Inspires."

If in nature Being becomes secure
and ceases to whirl about,
if it conceives of change without moving,
the angel will raise frame high
and the image will spread out like a rug
and transport us.
