“Bamboo and pine denote endurance and fidelity. No matter how cold the winter or how torrid the summer, they remain green and vigorous.”

“You best meet the Supernatural if you make your heart like a hut that is empty of everything but the bare essentials.”

“Midori turned her head and spoke quietly with composure. ‘We said before we married, and before you went to China the second time, that if our lives are spent for the glory of God, then life and death are beautiful. You have given everything you had for work and that was very important. It was for His glory.”

“After the carnage, smoke and ash of the last few days, the mountains never looked so beautiful or dependable. That Chinese poet had expressed it well: ‘Though the nation go under, the mountains and streams remain.’ Though men explode atom bombs, God’s sunlight never fails.

Scientist Nagai corrected that thought: ‘The sun’s fuel is already half spent, and one day sunlight will disappear and the green mountains around me will die, just as surely as my wife died and my books and medals turned to ash.’ His copy of the New Testament had also turned to ash, but as he walked, a verse from it took hold of his heart: ‘The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.’ There it was, the truth more reliable than mountains and sunlight, and the answer to the horror and sadness of August 9th.”

“Before leaving, he turned and gazed at the x-ray machine that had sown seeds of death in his blood, and he became calmer. The machine was no longer the new shiny thing Professor Suetsugu had brought. It had paint chipped off here and was worn there, just like Nagai. Was not that the best way to end up, worn out in the service of your fellow men? Nagai realized he was no longer trembling. Peace had returned and even a sense of gratitude for a full life.”
