Quote by Jeffrey Grisamore

“I kept watching the river, losing touch with the moment as I often do, the view in front of me taking me to some other place. I get distracted this way. People can be disruptive, nature can't. It wasn't as if I felt disrupted by India. But there was some obscure emotion rising in me, some profound attraction that I didn't know quite what to do with.”

“I was raised on water and rivers in particular, and I've come to believe in them. It's hard to put into words, but Christians have Jesus Christ and maybe I do too, but for me He's those swirling pools of emerald green light there, all linked together on a trip to everlasting life. Water is my ancestral home. It's what keeps me warm and calm and centered. When I get conflicted or upset I go back to it and it finds a way to center my heart and tell me everything will be okay. I can't take my eyes off of it and I don't want to leave its side.”

“One study found interesting gender differences regarding how pain and synchrony affect social bonding. For women, greater social bonding was reported for painful ritual without synchronized movements. For men, however, synchrony and pain created a greater sense of social bonding. One possible reason for this is that males, more than females, over our evolutionary history were responsible for coordinated violent action against perceived threats, which may have selected them for greater sensitivity to synchrony as a bonding mechanism.”

“And now insane men adrift in a world without order formed a line at the door.  They rendered unto her every evil act brought into this world by God.  They fell upon her with brutality that none of them at any other time would have thought possible.  There was once no scenario that would lead them to behave this way.  At any other time in their life there were no words or arguments that could convince them to treat a woman with such wanton disregard.  No one now asked, “What brought me to this?” Not one of them asked, “Who are these men?  How did we end up here, doing these things? Who am I now?”

“American evangelical leaders have succumbed to a watered-down salvation of entitlement, prosperity, conservative judges, and anti-abortion laws. They reap the seeds they’ve sown in an inept, blasphemous leader who divides and weakens his nation. Stripped of world dominance, power, and respect, Catholic leaders waddle in the shame of their pedophile-plagued clergy, inviting pagan religions into the house of God. Each has cut a Faustian deal with the devil, which presents Andre with an opportunity: a path to redemption”
