(Can you tell I’m jumping for joy?) You might think it’s only 60 seconds and, come on, anybody can do anything for 60 seconds. But, ah, this is camel! Lessons of fear and trust reside in camel. Everyday, still, after eight months, when . . . → Read More: One Minute Camel, for “Camel” In a novel I am reading today, I came across something that I thought was quite novel: “Perhaps almost anyone could love, he thought; it was the loving back that seemed to count for everything.” When people are nice to us, do things for us, buy us things, entertain us in their homes, regularly call . . . → Read More: Loving Back |
