Started and finished (during long insomnia night) Love and Other Impossible Pursuits by Ayelet Waldman yesterday. Quick read (obviously), but some interesting commentary about women, love, children. It closes with the following passage, which I adore:

This love was so hard to recognize, but I have finally been able to see it for what it is – grace. Grace is when something is more beautiful than we deserve, more elegant and lovely than it should be … The gorgeousness of life comes in accidental beauty; it comes in inexplicable grace. Grace, like when someone brings to your life an unplanned magic.
