About a month ago I noticed something really amazing, which I must call a garden miracle. It so happened that when I 1 the double doors of a small storage area in the back of my house where I 2 my garden supplies during the long, severe New England winter. I found, in one of the dirt-filled pots, a living plant, topped with two of the most unlikely pink 3 you've ever seen.
How was this 4 possible? The unheated space had been closed all winter, and it was still cold outside. Once I caught my breath, I looked around and discovered something approaching a reasonable 5 — there was a small glass window at the top of the double doors, and it was possible that a ray of sun fell 6 on that pot, giving the plant just enough light and warmth to enable it to grow in its own personal greenhouse.
I can't help feeling 7 at the lessons this wonderful plant has to teach. For one thing, I am moved by the coincidence of the whole thing. If I had 8 my pot six inches to the left or right of that spot, the plant might not have gotten that 9 ray of light. If I had 10 the roots of the plant in late fall, there would have been nothing but dirt in that pot.
But there's something else that 11 me about this — just how little right and 12 it took for this plant to grow and flower. I'm not 13 we should be mean with love and kindness we 14 to others and ourselves. But isn't it comforting to think that just a touch of 15 can brighten a day, a place, a life?
When it comes to positivity, a little goes a long way. Just ask my title miracle plant.
