— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)
In the book
There are honest pilots, good ones, who find the longer they live the harder it becomes to picture a God who listens, and yields, and takes account of our small struggles. It is permitted — it is even expected — to find the religious road genuinely difficult; the challenge of the road is part of the road, and what we are after is not a borrowed certainty but a faith that is your own and therefore real. The danger is only in pretending the sky has no tower because you cannot always see it, or in imagining your life is a solo enterprise on which you alone succeed or fail by your own merit, which is the surest recipe for both arrogance and despair. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
