Most people go to the office and sit at a desk. When firefighters go to the office, we might birth a baby in the morning, save a drowning surfer in the afternoon, and run into a fire at night. What could be more interesting than that? (Caroline Paul)

Thomas Babington Macaulay

Silouan the Athonite

Bruce Springsteen

Sometimes I sit up in the darkness, And I watch my baby as she sleeps. Then I climb in bed and I hold her tight. I just lay there awake in the middle of the night, Thinking 'bout the wreck on the highway.
