excerpt (Oh My Stars-Lorna Landvik)

[levity]

 " Aw, settle down and quit your squirming.  I'm not witnessing for any Reverend I. M. Aphraud or Swami Fulla Lotta Bologna; I'm not one of those bothersome lackeys out to fill my quota of converts to the church of Perpetual Possibility or the Temple of Unending Yakety-Yak.  I am the salt of the earth, and I do not believe in the ninety percent rigamarole that is organized religion.  But miracles?  Miracles, my friend, are a different thing entirely.  From what I can see, miracles are built from love, and as far as love is concerned, I am a true believer."
