“I see the longing and despair all around me, and I think of Christ lying in the boat with his head on a pillow while the waves toss their craft around. Everyone is frantic, thinking death itself has come for them, and the creator of the universe is fast asleep. Glory.

Sometimes the appropriate response to desperation is to do the unthinkable. Close your eyes.”

–Cole Arthur Riley, This Here Flesh, p. 153-154
