"Sometimes when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And fortunately, when there aren't any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin. Or a kind and loving gesture. Or a subtle encouragement. Or a loving embrace. Or an offer of comfort.
Not to mention hospital gurneys. And noseplugs. An uneaten danish. And soft-spoken secrets. And Fender Stratocasters. And maybe, the occasional piece of fiction.
And we must remember that all these things – the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties -- that only seem to accessorize our days are really here for a much larger and nobler cause – they are here to save our lives.
I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that is just so happens to be true."
