Quote of the Week
From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.

13 truckers lined up under a highway overpass this week to try to prevent a suicide. From the article:
The impressive line-up wasn’t a coincidence. The drivers were prepared for exactly this sort of situation. Sgt. Jason Brockdorff of the Huntington Woods Police Department told The Detroit News that the response was something local police and truck drivers had actually trained for.
Being ready makes a difference. Ready for. Ready to.
