Gentleness is everywhere in daily life, a sign that faith rules through ordinary things: through cooking and small talk, storytelling, making love, fishing, tending animals and flowers, through sports, music and books, raising kids-- all the places where the gravy soaks in and grace shines through. Even today, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people.

"The aim of flattery is to soothe and encourage us by assuring us of the
truth of an opinion we have already formed about ourselves."
