This miracle of flight... to be high above clouds, looking out at the sun and on the earth below... what an astonishing thing! To just be looking out at the curve of the Earth in the distance with the morning sun high above.
Your mother and I are on our way to the International Black Film Festival of Nashville where CASS will be playing -- and you are along for the ride: a miracle beside me, that I can reach out and touch.
Sometimes you need to touch the miracle closest at hand to appreciate the miracle farther away.
Soon enough, you will understand this too. Saint Anselm said that "God is the greatest we can conceive" but I believe God is greater than we can ever possibly conceive -- and that, my dear, is the joy of wonder and what makes a miracle like you such an exquisite pleasure.
