The puppet thinks:It’s not so much
When all’s said and done, Mally said, all roads lead to the same end. So it’s not so much which road you take, as how you take it.
Life's an act of magic, too. Claire Hamill sings a line in one of her songs that really sums it up for me: 'If there's no magic, there's no meaning.' Without magic- or call it wonder, mystery, natural...
If everybody really and truly treated each other the way they’d want to be treated, all the problems of the world would be solved. Nobody would starve, because nobody’d want to go hungry themselves. N...
I'm not as trusting as people think I am. Sure, I see the best in people, but that doesn't mean it's really there.
But if I could just get som ehint, some sign... Conchita smiles, without humor, but with great affection. That's the point behind faith, she says. It's not something you can prove....I know you hate t...
I'm a writer and this is what I do no matter what name we put to it. Year by year, the world is turning into a darker and stranger place than any of us could want. This is the only thing I do that has...
