Everybody knows the Thomas Wolfe line “You Can’t Go Home Again.”  Who knew that artist Alexander Calder appears, fictionalized as “Piggy Logan,” in it?[7]

Well, neither did I.  But that’s not the point.  Why exactly make the onerous assertion in the first place?  (What holds anyone back from going home again?)

We went back, & we’re glad we did.  The church still held for us its sacred feel. Right size and age.  Right stone and light.  Something about it suits our hearts.
