I loved making these origami paper cranes when I was a child. I was taught by Japanese friend of the family when we were stationed in Japan. It's a small, calming, creative action, taking a piece of paper and transforming it into something else.
Meanwhile at home, we are hearing of Sars outbreaks, having heard all about the Anthrax being sent through the mail. We are still being told by a very arrogant Rumsfeld on a very regular basis that there are WMD in Iraq, and we will find them and we will not waver, not stop and it's all very unsettling, feeling in your gut that what we are being told isn't sitting right, and meantime these other things are going on in the world, first-time kinds of things not seen before.
'And Should We Die' is a historical novel, written by Arthur Ruger, with a compassionate look at a little known tragedy in American pioneer history; the Willie-Martin handcart trek (the last of the handcart pilgrimages) with incredulous hardships that took so many lives. A novel about faith and courage in the Old American West.
