"Life is this simple: We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent
and the Divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or a fable. It is true."
-Thomas Merton
I have been reading some wonderful books these days:
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. {I'm also very excited about reading his newest book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking}
And I have been thoroughly enjoying Vendela Vida's first novel And Now You Can Go
*I just noticed when I made this link that Amazon has a special if you order Vendela's book and Julie Orringer's How to Breathe Underwater. Two of my favorites!
