Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.

Summary

This quote suggests that afflictions, or hardships and difficulties, are mere reflections of God's protective presence and guidance over our lives. Like the shadows cast by a bird's wings, afflictions may seem daunting but ultimately reveal a divine purpose or protection. By viewing afflictions in this way, we can find solace in the belief that even in the midst of challenges, God's presence and care are always with us, offering comfort and strength to overcome adversity.

No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clich?s that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him. The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart's blood.

Now that nude-beach season is in full, um, swing, taking things off is once again a public matter. It comes with the additional difficulty of hot sand under one's feet and the unavoidable, inescapable truth that gravity always wins.
