the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2011:

And only 50 minutes earlier, the moon will officially be full.

A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, 

a resting place for innocence on earth , 

a link between angels and men.

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.

Vincent Van Gogh

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. 

It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God.

The smile that flickers on baby's lips when she sleeps- does anybody know where it was borne? Yes, there is a rumor that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born . . .
