Quote by Sunshine Rodgers

“I find my mom praying a lot more. She always has her Bible nearby. That light seems to be back in my mom’s eyes . . . as if she’s living for some renewed purpose. As if something was missing this entire time, and she’s finally found it.”

“The event of reading, like the event of loving, is singular. Just as our love for another creates a new reality as it unfolds, each reading of a particular text makes us lovers without precedent. Reading creates in us new ways of loving, and thus new ways of being. Or it can. In order for a book to work on us this way, we have to open ourselves up to an intentionality and signifying practice that originates outside of our own “egological sphere.” Because we cannot anticipate the way we will be changed by an event of reading, we commit ourselves first to the act of surrender itself and, through that surrender of our own intentionality, find ourselves remade.”

“Children come to us not... because we are good people, but because we are students of life. And as students, at some point, an examination will come!! One that is karmic in nature, and one that's unforgettable. There is neither failure nor success in raising a child. What is gained is the realisation that you have fulfilled your karma. And hopefully, in the best interests of both you and the child.”
