Once, on a bus ride to KC from Chicago, I struck up a conversation with someone who didn't seem like much of a stranger after a few minutes of talking.

She, studying Physics (I think), and I, a persistent romantic, began talking about atoms and their sub structure. Eventually she told me a phrase her and a friend developed: "God is in the quarks." What she meant was God is in the details, or, upon closer inspection details support an ocean of mystery and intrigue. I believe this is the same sort of thinking the author is coming from.

I've taken that with me where I go, and enjoy that I have a similar mentality as the author. Life is much more interesting from the perspective of everything being a miracle.

I feel like this Louis CK bit addresses the "nothing is a miracle" crowd well.

Hell yeah. He's brilliant.
