“Hsiao Lao smiled weakly. "He is a foolish God... Your God does not behave in the way I would expect." I laughed suddenly, for I had thought the same many times -- how foolish God is with me, my sweet, spendthrift, profligate Lord, bestowing on me things I would not have thought myself capable of. "It may seem that way, Hsaso Lao. He is foolish in His giving and in His care for us. He has spoiled me throughout my life.”
Bo Caldwell, City of Tranquil Light

“A strange thing has happened as I've aged; I have felt my parents' love for me more strongly every year.”
Bo Caldwell

“The human heart is hard to grasp.”
Bo Caldwell
