Conversations with Jesus and Buddha - "A few years ago I was living a life that by all appearances was ideal. I had a job I loved, three wonderful children and homes in Malibu and Marin. I also thought I had my health in good order—worked out daily, ate organic foods and hadn't been to an M.D. in twenty years. It was at that point I was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer."

Geoffrey Falk - "Geoff doesn't remember a whole lot from his childhood, except being really lousy at summarizing short stories in Grade Two or Three. He's recently figured out that it's because to him, as to all good programmers, every detail is important, so how do you decide what to leave out?"

365 and a Wakeup - "Sleep. Blessed, blissful, wonderful sleep. Mother’s milk. A full harvest in a time of famine. The storm that breaks the drought. It is the drug of choice here - assiduously avoided because of the neverending chain of missions, but always craved. If rarity is the measure of a substances worth then here in Iraq, sleep carries a price beyond words. There is no more precious moment in my day then the sublime instant where my mind flickers between consciousness and the dreamworld. In that sliver of time the day seems to shimmer and melt like one of Dali’s paintings - leaving only honey sweet dreams of my other life far from Arabia."
