After eating my Chinese takeout (shrimp with mixed vegetables with white rice and brown sauce) I carefully opened my Fortune Cookie. Quite honestly I don’t believe in the ability of accurate predictions of future events, based through mystical or supernatural means, but nonetheless I cracked it open to have a look.
The small slip of paper read “You will witness a miracle this month.”
Miracles too find confrontation with my reason, unless used in a more causal sense related to the statistical likelihood of an event.
As it is rather vague and general, I suppose I will have to wait for the remainder of the month, careful to observe “my miracle” thus stopping my world for a moment to ponder the impossible.

I too don’t believe in supernatural miracles but you can suspend disbelief in the supernatuaral for a while voluntarily in order to enjoy a message that is encouraging. For example, if you need a miracle in some area of life like health or getting a job, you can allow yourself to latch on to this fortune cooking message to keep up hope. Then you can try to see small successes as miracles. It works for mood lifting and encouragement. just don’t try to design a bridge based on a fortune cookie.
