When the weather started getting warmer where I lived, she was always escaping out of the house. I kept letting her go out, and then one day, she didn't come back. I felt bad about losing track of her, and I hope she is okay, but I would really like to know what happened to her. I've had some neighbors tell me they still see her from time to time, but I haven't seen her in months. I have an idea for a mystery novel I'm going to incorporate that into, one of these days!

“I've gone crazy and now so have my imaginary friends.”
C.S. Johnson, Slumbering

“Art is supposed to inspire the highest level humankind has to offer. Politics is only agreeing on rules that one might use to engage with others, and slowly changing them with the hopes no one else will notice.”
C.S. Johnson

“Some stories are well worth the time they take, both in the making and in the telling.”
C.S. Johnson

“ — This world is full of trouble, umfundisi.
— Who knows it better?
— Yet you believe?
Kumalo looked at him under the light of the lamp. I believe, he said, but I have learned that it is a secret. Pain and suffering, they are a secret. Kindness and love, they are a secret. But I have learned that kindness and love can pay for pain and suffering. There is my wife, and you, my friend, and these people who welcomed me, and the child who is so eager to be with us here in Ndotsheni – so in my suffering I can believe.
— I have never thought that a Christian would be free of suffering, umfundisi. For our Lord suffered. And I come to believe that he suffered, not to save us from suffering, but to teach us how to bear suffering. For he knew that there is no life without suffering.
Kumalo looked at his friend with joy. You are a preacher, he said.”
Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country

“I've gone crazy and now so have my imaginary friends.”
C.S. Johnson, Slumbering

“It can be crazy hard. To keep your faith, to keep going. It can be harder than I ever would have imagined. Sometimes things happen to you, really bad things that aren't fair, things that make you feel so terrible you're not even sure who you are anymore or whether you're right or wrong, good or bad. Sometimes you feel like there's no one to turn to, and you're all alone and so scared you can hardly move and so tired you just want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep forever. I guess that's kind of the way Alex felt that last night I saw him. And that's the way I felt now. But I guess I had one advantage over Alex. I guess in some way I'd been training for this time my whole life. I'd been training every day, even in simple things, little things. I trained to keep my mind sharp when I went to school. I trained in karate to keep my body and spirit strong. Even when I just went to church, or when I prayed by myself, it was a kind of training: I was training to remember that I was not alone. I was never alone.”
Andrew Klavan

“If you're not at least willing to die for something- something that really matters- in the end, you die for nothing.”
Andrew Klavan, The Truth of the Matter

“If history can do anything it is to remind us that all our judgments are merely relative to time and circumstance.”
Herbert Butterfield
