Three years ago this very minute I was witness to the most amazing event I can imagine. Despite months of anticipation and countless hours of preparation and research, my intellect was overwhelmed and I was swept with a wave of pure joy and awe. I confronted the sublime — a boundlessness and enormity that escapes all attempts to represent or explain it — and I wept stronger and longer than at any time in my adult life. My life changed forever as I watched part of myself spring forth into being. I was in the presence of the most beautiful and wonderful thing in the world.
And it was covered in blood and mucous.
Happy birthday, little boy.
