  • We must enhance the light, not fight the darkness.

It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world.

  • When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off.

It is an instinct that responds ... to some deep inner urge that has been variously described as the horror of a vacuum and the need to put one's imprint on at least one small segment of the world.
