“Ants do what ants do, without pondering about their options. And when a boot flattens their ant friends and blots out several months of their work, they do not speculate on the meaning of it all.” -Paul W. Jones, A Season in the Desert: Making Time Holy
“I knew what I had now. I had a vision, fit for a life’s wager. I could drink to the “dream.” And my wager was this: If there is a God who makes this divine-human promise, we will be co-creators. But if the vision is only a cruel tease, I will still live the vision so that my life is a protest against a Godless universe.”-Paul W. Jones, A Season in the Desert: Making Time Holy
