I believe in miracles because I’ve seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a  36  in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he  37  I come to see you.”

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would  38  to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the  39 of her mouth.A careful examination later  40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

During her next appointment,I explained to her the  41  of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just  42 .”

I thought otherwise.After considerable  43  on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to  44  me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,  45  treatment.

About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and  46 .

“How are you?”I asked.

“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded  47  high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”

Surprised to see her at all,I answered  48  ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had  49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness  50 .

I had read of such things happening,but had  51  seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting  52  to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, 53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  54  the miracles of one another.

Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  55 we choose to find it.

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather．Several times, it  36 obstacles（障碍物in its path．And after a pause it made the necessary detour. At one point, the ant had to  37  a crack(裂缝) about 10 mm wide．After some brief thoughts, the ant laid the                   38 over the crack, walked across it and  39 up the feather on the other side, then continued on its way．I was  40 by the cleverness of this ant．It was only a small insect, lacking in  41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  42  this ant, like the other two-legged creatures  43 on the earth, also shares human feelings．

After some time the ant finally reached its  44 – a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   45 home．It was there that the ant met its  46 . How could that large feather possibly   47  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t．So the ant, after all this trouble and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just   48 the feather and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through   49 it began its journey and in the end the feather was   50 more than a burden. Isn’t our   51  like this?

We worry about our families; we worry about our money or the   52 of it; and we worry about all kinds of things．These are all  53 —the things we pick up all the life, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   54 that at the destination they are   55  and we can’t take them with us．
