save our sons from war, we pray,

Maybe they would learn to be a little more like women.

The women who had lived on the island all this time moved carefully, tenderly, because there was so much to lose.”
― Bonnie Jo Campbell, The Waters

“Setbacks and failure are all part of a well-balanced kitchen diet and life. I have come to know this. And it makes me think about Carla's satisfying and assured title, taken from the Bible: 'Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith' (Proverbs 15:17).
