-yet it is a miracle and you know it very well my dear Baron! Do you remember when you yourself had an experience in Kärnten when you were still a lieutenant? You were riding cross-country and came upon a tall beautiful plum tree that stood between a farmhouse and a barn. You always liked to eat plums and you said:

“If only they were ripe!”

You looked but couldn’t find a single ripe one. They were all still hard and green. Perhaps they would be ripe in a month! But the next morning, as you rode past, the plums were all ripe. Wasn’t that a miracle?

You certainly had a good explanation. That night the house and barn had both been burned to the ground but the flames had not disturbed the tree that stood between them. The terrible heat had ripened the plums over night. That’s what caused it, but isn’t a miracle still a miracle even when you can explain it?

And tomorrow morning when I or you fall into this body and experience everything that is to come, or when I become you, or you become me, isn’t that nevertheless a miracle as well?
