“I didn’t confront the Dominionists directly, instead choosing to minister to the sick and hungry New Orleanians who arrived in DeQuincy in Katrina’s wake. But inside, I fumed at the Dominionist faction at Grace. Katrina was not about God’s judgment; it was about a storm that started as a low-pressure zone that slowly, dangerously grew into a tropical wave of low pressure. Katrina had a natural cause, not a supernatural cause. What flooded New Orleans and sent its citizenry into exile was not, as the Dominionists at Grace argued, God running spiritually corrupt, lost souls out of town but rather a catastrophically flawed levee system constructed by human hands. Besides, I believed that what we did to help those affected by the storm—not why the storm or its destruction happened—was what mattered. My Katrina-era messages were just blandly positive—I preached that the storm was a moment to prove to God just how loving we could be to one another—but the Dominionists at Grace were furious nonetheless. “Are you really saying,” they chided me after Sunday services, “that it doesn’t matter how people in New Orleans live? That they can be saved if they’re alcoholics?” I was unflinching in my answer. “Yes, “ I replied sternly, “that’s exactly what I’m saying.” The Dominionists simply shook their heads in disgust at my apostasy.”

“I didn't create the system- I was born into it," I say at last. It feels like a fair thing to say.
His face seems to be at war. A flash of anger, a sharp narrowing of his gaze, then a slight pull of his eyebrows- exasperation maybe, but smoothed away to make room for a clenched jaw. "Please stop talking before I do something I regret. Por favor."
"What did I say that was so terrible?" My hands fly to my hips. "If you don't explain it to me, how am i supposed to know-"
"I'm a little tired of explaining myself," Rumi says flatly. "Have been for years. And you all never listen. Do your own reading on the subject, why don't you? And then come back and we'll discuss whatever you like.”

“I didn’t cry, nor shed the merest of tears. I wouldn’t allow myself to. Though within, deep within, I was cradled in a little ball with my knees tucked into my chest, a puddle of tears surrounding me, as though I was a little girl who could not handle her emotions.
That was true. I could not handle my emotions. Could not handle the weight of the world or the mass of Caspian Marks’ love.”

“I didn’t cry when you left.
I saved that for the day I found your name

Always just us.”

“I didn't enjoy being a snake, and yet I appear to be doomed to be reminded of it for all eternity,' Cardan was saying, black curls falling across his face. He held a three-pronged fork aloft, as though to emphasise his point. 'The excess of songs hasn't helped, nor has their longevity. It's been what? Eight years? Nine? Truly, the celebratory air about the whole business has been excessive. You'd think I never did a more popular thing than sit in the dark on a throne and bite people who annoyed me. I could have always done that. I could do that now.'
'Bite people?' echoed Jude from the other end of the table.
Cardan grinned at her. 'Yes, if that's what they like.' He snapped his teeth at the air as though to demonstrate.
'No one is interested in that,' Jude said, shaking her head.”

“I didn't even feel quite comfortable about having a modestly good time. This guilt was a holdover from the bleak cold days of the Depression when the long gray lines quickly scratched through the hardly realized moments of color ... the long winter dream played out against an always nightmarish backdrop of black and white. Ironic indeed that it took another nightmare, the red and gold blast of war, to make us rub our eyes and become accustomed once again to a brilliant spectacle. The unfamiliar color dulled our senses to the horror. We were enjoying ourselves for the first time in a decade. This was the carnival time of life, and we intended to celebrate, and celebrate we did, although a bit uneasily and self-consciously.”

“I didn’t even realize how poorly I treated others until I began to grow in love with myself. I gave out to other people the same kind of stuff that I accepted as ok in my life. If it was good enough for me than it was good enough for them, right? Well, as I began to expect more and more loving behaviors from myself and began to expect better treatment from other people, I also began to set the bar a little higher for the way that I treated other people.”

“I didn't even think, just went with instinct. Opening my arms, I felt the tiny life placed there. Wrapping him close and tight to my chest, I felt my heart swelling with love. So small, so delicate. Using the tip of my finger, I traced his face, his little lips, his chin and cheeks, his eyes. "You're right, Tea, he is beautiful."
"He has your eyes," she whispered. "We still need to name him."
"Christian Simon Doyle. After your dad and your idiot friend."
Her voice sounded raw when she spoke again. "That's perfect."
"You're perfect. Thank you, Tea, thank you for my son, for our life, thank you for not giving up on me.”
