They can e to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes they39。re big and can39。t be missed. Other times they39。re so subtle that if we aren39。t aware, we may miss them altogether. They can e from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we39。ll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle (目眩) us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before. On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt39。s Mt. Horeb. I39。d spent the day at St. Catherine39。s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I39。d occasionally see other hikers who were ing down from a day on the mountain.

As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, Hello, I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn39。t heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, Sometimes you don39。t know what you have lost until you39。ve lost it. As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his going down the trail. That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a
