We're made from clay but also from a spirit that is not of this world. Negotiations between the two are always in session. Meanwhile, you may find here some reviews, commentary, translations, links to various articles, excerpted quotes, exegesis, and anything else that has a chance to edify, inspire, remind, or kindle. Thanks for dropping by.

Salamaat,
Thanks for sharing; which book is this from?
I was hoping no one would ask that question. I had it written down a couple of years ago, and just don't remember where. I can look it up. (...some day...)
A lovely and true quote nonetheless :)
Ya Haqq!
