[Humans became human] by breaking into the daylight of language—whether by good fortune or bad fortune, whether by pure chance, the spark jumping the gap because the gap was narrow enough, or by the touch of God, it is not for me to say here.
The more alert we become to the blessings that flow into us from everything we touch, the more our own touch will bring blessing.
~ Br. David Stendl-Rast
