MIRACLES by Walt Whitman

Why, who makes much of a miracle?
As to me I know of nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,
Or stand under trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night
with any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,
Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,
Or animals feeding in the fields,
Or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,
Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of the stars shining so quiet
and bright,
Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;
These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
The whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.

*Please forgive any spelling errors, offense, lengthy/wordy/rant and any misinterpretation of what I have posted or what I am asking for my lead post. I said I came to this board not to make trouble (which was meant facetiously) but to keep my mind off a few things. Yes, I am sarcastic. Yes, I have been angry. Yes, I have tried to be light and sometimes I have been dark. I have been ruthless in some of my political leanings.
Yesterday, I had a particularly bad day and it shows here. I apologize. I realize this is not the place to divert my attentions or to take out my anger (or even attempt to have fun) at the expense of any person, place, or thing.
Call me names, heckle, spew whatever venom you want...I am taking a break from posting (yeah) not reading and putting my perspective, priorities, and reality check in it's true place.

This is NOT for sympathy because I certainly expect none here. It is an apology for SOME of my behavior. To those of you who have sort of "understood" my posts, thank you.
I have lost two Aunts to breast cancer in the last six months, my father has bladder cancer, one of my siblings has been told they have emphysema and another will die in the next 6 months or so to brain cancer. One of my cousins with 3 children just recently died in Iraq. I am currently awaiting the news of a bone scan to tell me whether my teenager has bone cancer. I will find out Monday.Thanks for reading my rant and walking my mile. I'm human, sorry.

TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION (SORRY FOR F-ING YELLING), I HOPE THERE ARE MIRACLES BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN THEM. So long.
