An astrophysicist's thoughts on Thanksgiving

There are a handful of corners of the internet that focus on something so precisely of interest to me that I can't go a day without wanting to share! NPR's 13.7: Cosmos and Culture blog is one of those nooks. It's a joint venture by a small group of assorted physicists, plus an anthropologist and a philospher. Today's post, The Mystery I'm Thankful For, is astrophysicist Adam Frank's take on finding meaning, thanksgiving, and mystery in a world that even the best of scientists cannot truly fathom. It's a short and sweet ode to a sentimental, atheist way of life.
