Rubin, Thank you for the compliment. Yes, I do very much feel that man is a miracle as Pico wrote, but what intrests me the most in his writting was my last entry "  In Pico’s words when God the father, the Mightiest Architect in his infinite hidden wisdom created humans, he created a creature which "MIGHT" comprehend the meaning of so vast an achievement, which "MIGHT" be moved with love and beauty and smitten with awe in its grandeur. He bethought Himself to bringing forth man." I love how he used that word, MIGHT, not everyone is going to percieve the world the same, but Pico lets us know that we are a miracle of life and all have a divine purpose, there is a saying that talks about our past, future and present, why is it called present, some say because it is a present that was given to us, and that it is a gift to wake up every day and realize we are all here for a higher purpose, and Pico reminds us of this. good question.
