So all these escape routes... Which is what villains like.”

An ingrained faith in God, the 'faith that makes real the things for which we hope' (Heb. 11:1), the faith whereby Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain and was commended as righteous (cf.

“What brings you relief?
Speaking your truth, crying your grief, or not needing to speak?
Reading, writing, playing games, dancing, or doing nothing at all?
Listening to songs, or piano etudes, or complete silence?
Darkness or candlelight or bright beating sun?
Blues, reds, yellows, many colors, or no color at all?
Hot or cold water? Immersed or pouring over you?
Tasting something crunchy, or sweet and smooth?
The scent of jasmine, or cucumber, or musk?
Someone touching you gently, or going deep,
or being utterly and completely alone?
We are all different...
When the quality of the overload changes,
so does the quality of relief.”

And smiled the sort of smile that wolves do, when they have their prey neatly cornered.”
