Behind the Blue Door

 
All the streetlights will go out at once, the faintly familiar blue door will creak open, and miracles will begin. But what is a miracle? Is it the old piano from which whispers and voices are heard? Of course! And... the bear that hears your thoughts, and the traveler from the old bridge who lights the terrikons - is that a miracle? And when the little sister, who has been silent for many years, begins to speak, when anger and resentment instantly turn into happiness and joy, when you sit simply with a person you could not stand, and watch the running clouds - is that not a miracle? That is also a miracle! And sometimes such everyday miracles are even dearer to us.
