"For people who buy my book as an e-book --which will be everybody. The first is called Don't Look. It's for the overly sensitive.

I am ready. ~ Garth Stein

His name is lost, indeed, but the breath he breathed still stirs the pine-tops on the mountains, the sound of the words he spoke yet echoes on through space; the thoughts his brain gave birth to we have inherited to-day; his passions are our cause of life; the joys and sorrows that he knew are our familiar friends
the end from which he fled aghast will surely overtake us also!

How happy you can be! How happy you can make this whole World be. ~ Mattie Stepanek
