當媽媽當得很累的時候,我總是用這段話支撐自己。

Yeah, but since when does anyone have a clue what they want? Parting your soup is not a miracle, Bruce, it's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs and still finds time to take her kid to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says no to drugs and yes to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them, and what they don't realize is - they have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle. 

"摩西把紅海分成兩半,那不是奇蹟,那是魔術。一個做雙份工的單親媽媽,下班後還能找時間陪自己的小孩練習足球才是奇蹟,一個青少年能拒絕毒品並接受教育那才是奇蹟。人們總是要上帝降神蹟在他們身上,但他們卻始終不了解,他們自己就擁有製造奇蹟的能力。你想看奇蹟嗎?你自己就能是奇蹟。

我很喜歡"王牌天神"裡扮演上帝的摩根費里曼對"奇蹟"下的定義,無論是職業婦女或是全職媽媽,只要深呼吸咬緊牙關,都能看見發生在寶寶身上的神蹟,和自己努力創造的奇蹟。然後,也許有一天我們會吮指回味這段難熬的日子。

有幸能當母親就是一種神蹟,生命的奇蹟應當由我們開始。
