Quotation

From book on God & hope (2 of 2): At such moments I tried to elevate myself. I would touch the turban I had made with the remnants of my shirt and I would say aloud, “This is God’s hat!” I would pat my pants and say aloud, “This is God’s attire!” I would point to Richard Parker and say aloud, “This is God’s cat!” I would point to the lifeboat and say aloud, “This is God’s ark!” I would spread my hands wide and say aloud, “These are God’s wide acres!” I would point at the sky and say aloud, “This is God’s ear!” And in this way I would remind myself of creation and of my place in it.
