The Lord, before His Incarnation, let mankind experience all the bitterness of sin, all their powerlessness to eradicate it and when all longed for a Deliverer, then He appeared, the most wise, all-powerful Physician and Helper.

I have always longed to be part of the outward life, to be out there at the edge of things, to let the human taint wash away in emptiness and silence as the fox sloughs his smell into the cold unworldliness of water to return to town a stranger. Wandering flushes a glory that fades with arrival.

The backstreet cafe in Casablanca was for me a place of mystery, a place with a soul, a place with danger. There was a sense that the safety nets had been cut away, that each citizen walked upon the high wire of this, the real world. I longed not merely to travel through it, but to live in such a city.
