“Everybody prays whether [you think] of it as praying or not. The odd silence you fall into when something very beautiful is happening or something very good or very bad. The ah-h-h-h! that sometimes floats up out of you as out of a Fourth of July crowd when the sky-rocket bursts over the water. The stammer of pain at somebody else s pain. The stammer of joy at somebody else's joy. Whatever words or sounds you use for sighing with over your own life. These are all prayers in their way.” ThinkingWayLifeSometimesUsePainBeautifulJoyFallSoundWaterPrayerSilenceSkyPrayingHappeningsVery GoodCrowdsOddOver YouFourthFloatsRocketsJulyVery Beautiful Author:Frederick Buechner

“We're going to be surprised when we discover that things in Heaven are normal and natural, much like this life. Of course, it will be better, much more beautiful and supernatural, without all the troubles, trials, tribulations, suffering, tears and pain we have here. However, it will still be enough like this life that we will survive the change and not suffer some sort of traumatic culture shock. It'll be life very much like we're living now, only without the bad and evil.” StillsEnoughPainBeautifulSufferingCultureCoursesEvilHeavenNaturalTroubleTearsNormalTrialsThis LifeShockHeavenlyTribulationCulture Shock Author:David Berg

“In Advance of All Parting is a tough, unsentimental examination of marital grief. Musically elegant and inventive, understated and passionate, the poems give us a profound glimpse into how the events of a life can form a center of gravity that fixes the self in its force field.
