Miraculous (Marilynne Robinson)


   We inhabit, we are part of, a reality for which explanation is much too poor and small.  No physicist would dispute this, though he or she might be less ready than I am to have recourse to the old language and call reality miraculous.  [The danger is] a tendency … to marginalize the sense of the sacred, the beautiful, everything in any way lofty. 

--Marilynne Robinson, 
When I Was a Child I Read Books
