the extraordinary within the ordinary


"Human life – so ordinary, so familiar, so natural, and yet so extraordinary. Looking for mystery in things bizarre, we feel cheated when later we learn that a hoax or a simple process explains it away. All the while we miss the awesome events occurring before, or even within, our very eyes. The extraordinary within the ordinary…. We look for wonders and for the unseen reality – the hand of God – in things extraordinary, when more often his presence is to be found in the unheralded, familiar, everyday events of which life is woven." - Myers and Jeeves
