“Wine is like the incarnation--it is both divine and human”

“Jesus loved the will of His Father. He embraced the limitations, the necessities, the conditions, the very chains of His humanity as He walked and worked here on earth, fulfilling moment by moment His divine commission and the stern demands of His incarnation. Never was there a word or even a look of complaint.”

“The profound originality of a divine-human pact in which both parties complain endlessly about each other has too rarely been acknowledged as such.”

“Our weaknesses are divine gifts that when embraced will enable us to make our purposeful contribution to the whole, which is why we incarnated in the first place.”

“I believe in divinity. Like the goodness that works through people. The God inside humanity.”

“. . . poetry, like all imaginative creations, divines the human enterprise. This is poetry's social value.”
