"People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea,

at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular

motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering... Now, let us

acknowledge the wonder of our physical incarnation— that we are here, in these

particular bodies, at this particular time, in these particular circumstances.

May we never take for granted the gift of our individuality."

— Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430)
