Today on the 19 February,
At the age: 38 years old.
John of Kronstadt made the first miracle
With the young sick boy Kostylev.
Today I opened the article
Just randomly in Internet -
And I've learned it. Isn't that a wonder?
Hello from the sky! Today!

19 февраля,
Иоанну лет - 38.
в первый раз от одра болезни поднял
он мальчика Костылева.
В этот день открыла статью
случайно так в Интернете -
и о чуде узнала об этом.
Это - как Приветствие с неба!

I would like to translate this poem
I share your joy at this moment. There is a word in English for this type of experience] SERENDIPITY: an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident. You may object to the phrase BY ACCIDENT because it has no spiritual dimension. When Alfred Schnittke's Cello Concerto No.1 premiered in 1986 critics said THE HAND OF FATE was in it. I like that, but you might prefer something more personal: I felt the presence of St. John in this moment out of the ordinary flow of time when the eternal dips into the temporal. If we're paying attention there are many such moments, when the heavens open up and our souls open up and spiritual energy flows back and forth. I'm glad about two things: this event happened on Feb.19 and you posted it so I could experience it on Feb.19. This is your altruism, Elizaveta: you experienced a miracle and then shared it with me (and potential others) by means of your poem.
