The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

-Albert Einstein

For me on this Ash Wednesday, my moment of awe today was in my children's reverence at a solemn church service this afternoon.

And in this babe of mine, my little pink girl, who is still such a baby on the cusp of her first birthday.

And you?
