"Extraordinary
I am trying
to teach myself
to slow
And ponder
ordinary miracles.
The wonder of
finding five fat turkeys
perched atop a chain link fence
Across the street
from the dentist office
on a regular Wednesday afternoon.
A tiny miracles.
Inserted into a very ordinary day.
Extraordinary.

Ordinary miracles has been a concept in my life, as well. The oncoming spring provides lots of material. At school you have miracles, small, extraordinary ones on a daily basis, no doubt.
