We are suspicious of grace. We are afraid of the very lavishness of the gift.

We don't want to feel less when we have finished a book; we want to feel that new possibilities of being have been opened to us. We don't want to close a book with a sense that life is totally unfair and that there is no light in the darkness; we want to feel that we have been given illumination.

To be a witness means to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist.

Vitam impendere vero. To stake one's life for the truth.

We find what we are looking for. If we are looking for life and love and openness and growth, we are likely to find them. If we are looking for witchcraft and evil, we'll likely find them, and we may get taken over by them.

I am not some kind of computer. Only machines have glib answers for everything.

... nothing loved is ever lost or perished.
