About our
people pages:
Because many visitors have asked for more information
about particular people whose words appear on the site,
we'll try to give you as much information as we can about
individuals. The Amazon links should give you access
to works by the author, though at times they'll display
other books if the author has written an essay or
introduction for those books. |

Love has its
own time, its own season, and its own reasons
from coming and going. You cannot
bribe it or coerce it or
reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when
it arrives
and give it away when it comes to you.
