Elderberries Embody the Age of Miracles


"My body is all sentient.  As I go here or there, I am tickled by this or that I come in contact with, as if I touched the wires of a battery . . . The age of  miracles is each moment thus returned.  Now it is wild apples, now river reflections, now a flock of lesser redpolls . . . People talk about Bible miracles because there is no miracle in their lives.  Cease to gnaw on that crust.  There is ripe fruit over your head."

Henry David Thoreau
