I was sad to read that writer Madeleine L’Engle died
this month. When I was a girl, I read L’Engle’s classic
A Wrinkle in Time at least a dozen times. The
EpiscopalLife Online story from 7 September says she
wrote more than 60 books and includes the quote:
-
“In times when we are not particularly suffering, we do not have enough time for God,” she said. “We are too busy with other things. And then the intense suffering comes, and we can not be busy with other things. And then God comes into the equation. Help. And we should never be afraid of crying out, ‘Help!’ I need all the help I can get.”
When Meg from A Wrinkle in Time sets out to travel through time
and space to save her little brother Charles, she became the first young
heroine I could believe in.
