“ if we could count the fears, both great and small, that once hounded us, and then thank God for each dread outcome that never materialized, we would reach no end of gratitude”

“ in a sudden and luminous moment, we realize that we are being accosted by mercy and embraced, even before we lay hold of ourselves”

“& regardless of what else you wear put on love”

“ even if we still nurse a secret nostalgia for the far country, Abba falls on our neck and kisses us.”

Just as we are

“‘Will my mouth always be like this?’ she asks.
‘Yes,’ I say, ‘It will. It is because the nerve was cut.’ She nods and is silent. But the young man smiles. ‘I like it,’ he says, ‘It is kind of cute’

All at once I know who he is…Unmindful, he bends to kiss her crooked mouth & I am so close I can see how he twists his own lips to accommodate to hers, to show her that their kiss still works.”

“I do not ask to see the reason for it all; I ask only to share the wonder of it all”

Welcome more wonder into the everyday
