Alive

Two wise Babylonians became intoxicated on the holiday of Purim.  One of the them, Rabba, killed Rabbi Zeira.  When he became sober, Rabba realized what he had done.  Rabba pleaded with the Almighty who responded to his heartfelt prayer by reviving Zeira.
The next year Rabba invited Rabbi Zeira to his Purim feast.  Zeira politely declined saying, "A miracle does not always occur."

A miracle occurred today.  You are alive, breathing and capable of doing almost anything.  That miracle may recur or not.  So live fully today.  And when it is over, give thanks to the One.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
