Pack it up everyone. Time to stop writing. Sometimes the suffering and the severity and cruelty of oppression, of slavery - what it really meant interpersonally - it’s just so hard to wrap your head around. God this book is so important. And so good. ...more "

“Summer Beach
…
Thunder that is still too far away for us to hear presses down on
Ben’s ears and he wakes us and leans hot and chesty first against
M., then against me, and listens to our slow, warm words that
mean we love him. But when the storm has passed, he is brave
again and wants to go out. We open the door and he glides away
without a backward glance. It is early, in the blue and grainy air
we can just see him running along the edge of the water, into the
first pink suggestion of sunrise. And we are caught by the old affinity,
a joyfulness - his great and seemly pleasure in the physical
world. Because of the dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is
no small gift…”
