J. M. DeMatteis on Now

“Now Mercy says, speaking from her silence, ''stand in the sun. Breath the deep. '''Feel what can be!'''''”

“Oh, Mercy — now I understand: The secret behind your actions, the thread that binds all these seemingly random events. … There's no great or small! No question of size or importance! Each act of compassion — however minor it may appear to our blind eyes — affects all Creation; shakes it to its roots!”
