“Some days I am not sure if my faith is riddled with doubt, or whether,
graciously, my doubt is riddled with faith. And yet I continue to live in a world
the way a religious person lives in the world;
I keep living in a world that I know to be enchanted,
and not left alone. I doubt; I am uncertain; I am restless,
prone to wander. And yet glimmers of holy keep interrupting my gaze.”

― Lauren Winner, theologian/memoirist 
TOMORROW is her birthday!
