Sir Christopher Wren designed St. Paul's Cathedral in London, a towering and magnificent work of carvings, columns, arches, and spires that took thirty-five years to build. He is buried in the cathedral, beneath a plain and simple slab. Barely noticeable and void of trappings, his tomb bares only this inscription: "If you seek his monument, look around you."

In the end, the only monument that matters may be the work of love we care into the lives around us.
