“In the midst of all of this local peace and harmony, a man named Ronald John was now the President-elect of the United States. He campaigned on a platform that promised to “rid America of the Muslim scourge.” What does this mean? Arya pondered. Does this man seriously intend to engage in the process of deporting all Muslims, whether here legally or illegally, whether citizens or non-citizens? Isn’t that unconstitutional? Arya Khan was inspirited and . . . terrified.”

“In the midst of all the misery, Gerrit found great comfort in looking up at the sky. While at eye level everything was gray and suffering and cruelty and despair, when he looked up, there was beauty and light and color. Sometimes there was a column of smoke rising and marring the beauty, but always it dissipated, and even the smoke could not reach the highest expanses of the sky. On some days, the sky was clear and blue; other days there were clouds, sometimes white and puffy, reminding Gerrit of a flock of sheep. Other days the clouds were gray, but even gray clouds filled Gerrit with hope because no matter how terrible things were on the ground, the sky remained pure and unchanged. And every morning and every evening, the sky was splattered with yellows, reds, pinks, purples, and oranges. Not even the Nazis can stop God from painting the sky every morning and evening.”

“In the midst of all these innumerable forms of a common protest and universal ill-ease there has grown up one definite body of doctrine whose adherents are called Communists and who desired the total subversion of what had been, hitherto unquestioned among civilized European men, the general doctrines of property and individual freedom.”

“In the midst of disappointment, it's easy for us to punctuate our pain with exclamation points. God, however, is very fond of commas, and our lives are continually unfolding in him, with all the unexpected twists and turns. Courage, dear one. The Lord is with you. May he strengthen you with hope for the next leg of the journey.”

“In the midst of global crises such as pollution, wars and famine, kindness may be too easily dismissed as a 'soft' issue, or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems are solved. But kindness is the greatest need in all those areas - kindness toward the environment, toward other nations, toward the needs of people who are suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything we do, our political gestures will be fleeting and fragile.”

“In the midst of her tears came the thought, "When people are in danger, they ask God to save them;" and, slipping down upon her knees, she said her prayer as she had never said it before, for when human help seems gone we turn to Him as naturally as lost children cry to their father, and feel sure that he will hear and answer them.”

“In the midst of his praise and his flushed face, I found it. It was like lightning, shattering me, blinding me, making me cry out as I’d never done before. Caelum pulled me against him as I shuddered, holding me tightly as our bodies twitched and pulsed in the aftershock. He didn’t let go, even after the waves of pleasure ceased. His long, slender fingers drew circles across my back, coaxing me back down to the ground after flying as high as a crackling storm cloud. And, my gods, I could not wait to claim my own lightning again with him.”

“In the midst of infertility, it feels all-consuming and endless, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Infertility will end. Sometimes fertility treatment ends in success. Sometimes it doesn't. Other times it ends with the acceptance that having children is not going to happen, but that a rich a meaningful life is still possible, even if the outcome wasn't what was originally pictured or hoped for.”
