27、 hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypts Mt.Horeb. Id spent the day at St. Catherines Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, Id occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While th
28、ey would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers
29、 Id seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditionalEgyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-coloredgalabia and obviously old and thick-soledsandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn
30、t even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses.As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, Hello, I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer.

33、g to a close. what the man on the trail couldnt have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣 ), and specifically during my hike to the top of Mosess mountain, that Id set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and,
34、ultimately, my life.I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping beforeme, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy
35、: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, thats a miracle.
36、I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we dont, thats okay as well.
