A Newborn Babe

Mysticism is alive and well.
If this seems like a mystification, you have not experienced it yet.
But wait, what if you have? 
Think on the mystique of a newborn babe.
You know this beautiful child has an inner glow, and sacred look, fresh from heaven.
Mystically alive, a soul-messenger.
A newborn will mystify even the most hardened skeptic.
You cannot hold one without instantly feeling that you are looking into the eyes of God.
Anyway, I cannot.

I love a newborn! I have had more than my share of being around them as I have ten grandchildren, however, I am not excited about holding them if they cry. I hand them instantly back when that happens. That little cat-cry grates on my nerves.

This is so TRUE! They are so fresh and new to this life that they do seem otherworldly and "mystically alive"... Nice work, my friend!
