Amazing Coincidences

A registration line, a nuclear power plant, a prayer candle

An abortion, graduate school, sisters

Fear of losing control, feeding courage with trust and patience, looking to the Bible

As a butterfly surveying a flowerbed, as objects, not very clearly at all

Muckraking, infamous mergers, the Jeffersonian ideal

Advertising, writing, nursing

Being changed forever, being on a long journey of wonder, being surprised

Large vegetables, losing one or both parents, the death of an animal

Phantoms, abortions, an organizing principle

Crete, Sunday School, a room full of Rembrandts
