I don't pray. When I was young, I vowed I never would be caught begging God. If I want something I get it for myself. I go to church only to show the old hens they don't get me down.

There is no such thing as a complete lack of order, only a design so vast it appears unrepetitive up close.

When small towns find they cannot harm the strangest of their members, when eccentrics show resilience, they are eventually embraced and even cherished.

Freedom, I found is not only in the running but in the heart, the mind, the hands.

It was just enough to sit there without words.

When every inch of the world is known, sleep may be the only wilderness that we have left.

The length of sky is just about the size of my ignorance. Pure and wide.
