If somebody honks a horn in Cleveland, they're saying 'Hi.' It's so rare to be honked at in anger. When we have merging traffic, we just interweave. There's real courtesy.

I'm savoring being in California every minute, learning that traffic is just God's way of saying 'Hi.'

How can you hear your soul if everyone is talking?

I live and die with the Indians. The first game I attended back in the mid-'90s was almost a religious experience. We were down by six and won by two, and it was glorious. The stadium is so beautiful, and the way it frames the city when you're sitting high above the second base line is spectacular.

At times, the solution to a maze is to reduce it to embers ans walk straight through the ashes."
― Mary Doria Russell, Children of God
