"For a brief time I served in a small parish in England, and every Sunday after mass, I would see a young boy waiting at the back of the church. And then one day the boy confessed to me that he had beaten his dog to death with a shovel. He said the dog had bitten his baby sister on the cheek and he needed to protect her. And he wanted to know whether he would go to hell for this. I told him that god would understand, that he would be forgiven, as long as he was sorry. But the boy did not care about forgiveness. He was only afraid that if he did go to hell, that dog would be there waiting for him."

My new annual winter tradition consists of watching LOST again. I’m preparing my body for the amount of twists and turns my emotions will take. I plan on crying over the strangest things; even thinking of the opening theme is making me weepy.

"Lodovico Buonarrot - Michelangelo’s father - he was a wealthy man. Had no understanding of the divinity in his son, so he beat him. No child of his was gonna use his hands for a living. So Michelangelo learned not to use his hands. Years later, a visiting prince came into Michelangelo’s studio and found the master staring at a single 18-foot block of marble. Then he knew the rumors were true, that Michelangelo had come in every day for the past four months, stared at the marble… and gone home for his supper. So the prince asked the obvious: ‘What are you doing?’ And Michelangelo turned around and looked at him and whispered, “Sto lavorando… I’m working.” Three years later, that block of marble was the statue of David."
