“And then something truly bizarre happened. I could feel his touch through our eyes. I couldn't look away from him.”

“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?”

“I know you look both ways before you cross the street, but I want you to look both ways a second time, because I told you to.”
