"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, sweet corn and flowers, through sports, music and books, raising kids - all the places where the gravy soaks in and the 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, Words on a Simple Life, Exley
