Goodbye, Madeleine

Madeleine L'Engle, writer of one of my all-time favorite sci-fi trilogies, died Thursday at the age of 88.

Answering the question "Why does anybody tell a story?", she responds:

“It does indeed have something to do with faith, faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically.”
