We are miracles

Last week, I learned that the punk band Rise Against has an acoustic symphony album called Ghost Note Symphonies. We’ve had rainy acoustic music weather here the last few days, and one song on the album really stood out to me: Miracle. (Here’s the original punk version if you’d prefer it.) It’s a song about not waiting for the change you want to happen. About getting out there and making your dent in the universe. But we don’t need miracles To tumble from the sky To part the seas around us Or turn water into wine ‘Cause we are the miracles We happen all the time We’re not scared of what surrounds us We’re not waiting for a sign This has been a big part of what’s helped me keep hope up as the state of world feels more and more bleak. Start small. Start right in your own neighborhood or community. Make change happen!
