Alan Lightman

And if we don't take that opportunity, we can't enter into the new year with any guarantee that it's going to be better than the year that we just had.

He titled it, The Ordinary Miracle of Existing.

This is what he said.

And because I'm a nerd, I walked out with a book that had caught my eye, and it was called The Accidental Universe.

It was written by a guy named Alan Lightman.

And one thing that he said in his book really stood out to me.

He said, in our constant search for meaning in this baffling and temporary existence, trapped as we are within our three pounds of neurons, it's sometimes hard to tell what is real.
