With words as valueless as poker chips, we play games whose object it is to keep us from seeing each other’s cards.

The Alphabet of Grace (1970)

The Alphabet of Grace (1970)

Thus, when you wake up in the morning, called by God to be a self again, if you want to know who you are, watch your feet. Because where your feet take you, that is who you are.
