"I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Day 4 - The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)

"You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." - Anne Lamott

Day 5 - Enough To Let Me Go

"Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other." - Carl Jung

Day 9 - Bullet Soul

"Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion." - Jack Kerouac

Day 10 - Yet

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken." - C.S. Lewis

Day 11 - Sing It Out

"there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too clever I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep" -...

Day 12 - Red Eyes

"Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough...The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread." - Mother...
