1. "I would not have guessed at the time that cancer or 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina would inspire me, or that the tragedies they wrought would morph into my teachers. But in standing before death, in standing amid destruction โ€” in standing despite them both โ€” I have witnessed grace. I have acquired courage. I have learned to gobble life up in a two-fisted feast."
