“The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.”

“A lie was something you told because you were mean or a coward. A story was something you made up out of something that might have happened. Only you didn't tell it like it was, you told it like you thought it should have been.”

“...if you ever wonder what you've done in your life, and everyone does wonder sooner or later, you have been God's grace to me, a miracle, something more than a miracle.”

“Creating is the means to breathe life into something that never was, could have been, or someday might be.”

“If you simply ignored the feeling, you would never know what might happen, and in many ways that was worse than finding out in the first place. Because if you were wrong, you could go forward in your life without ever looking back over your shoulder and wondering what might have been.”

“Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.”
