I love Canada. Its a wonderful political act of faith that exists atop a breathtakingly beautiful land.

I cannot think of a better way to spread the faith. No thundering from a pulpit, no condemnation from bad churches, no peer pressure, just a book of scripture quietly waiting to say hello, as gentle and powerful as a little girl's kiss on your cheek.

My alarm clock during my childhood was a pride of lions.

Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love - but sometimes it was so hard to love.

I turned around, stepped over the Zebra and threw myself overboard.

Books, like people, can't be reduced to the cost of the materials with which they were made. Books, like people, become unique and precious once you get to know them.

All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving; it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive.
