“But a little faith will see you through. What
else will do except faith in such a cynical, corrupt time? When the country
goes temporarily to the dogs, cats must learn to be circumspect, walk on
fences, sleep in trees, and have faith that all this woofing is not the last
word. What is the last word, then? Gentleness is everywhere in daily life, a
sign that faith rules through ordinary things: through cooking and small talk,
through storytelling, making love, fishing, tending animals and sweet corn and
flowers, through sports, music and books, raising kids—all the places where the
gravy soaks in and grace shines through. Even in a time of elephantine vanity
and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people.” ~
Garrison Keillor
