  • Seen from the side, an open book with gilded pages and ribbon bookmarks, implied to be a Bible.

    "There are two moments that matter. One is when you know that your one and only life is absolutely valuable and alive. The other is when you know your life, as presently lived, is entirely pointless and empty. You need both of them to keep you going in the right direction. Lent is about both. The...
