“The heart of their [Walsingham Witnesses] religion seemed to lie in disproving the religion of others.”
Rosemary Mahoney, The Singular Pilgrim: Travels on Sacred Ground – An Intrepid Woman's Journey Through Six Extraordinary Religious Pilgrimages

“No, Rose!' he shrieks, hopping up and down on the bed. 'Don't leeeeeave! Watch My Little Pony with me!' He jumps to the floor, grams my hand, and leads my back to the bed, and when I sit again he puts an arm around my neck in what is part hug, part half nelson. He breathes on my nose. He is desperate to keep me here, desperate to share his interest with someone... Who could blame anyone, child or adult, for wanting to enrich his experience by sharing it with a friend, a caring witness? We all want that.”
Rosemary Mahoney, Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on The Decision Not To Have Kids

“Hope has always struck me as the most tender of human emotions. It has no guarantee, it requires bravery, it makes the soul vulnerable, and when dashed it can inflict the graves of wounds.”
Rosemary Mahoney, The Singular Pilgrim: Travels on Sacred Ground – An Intrepid Woman's Journey Through Six Extraordinary Religious Pilgrimages
