Sultry lovers build to an endless night of pleasure while <br /> a homeless man is chased in confusion from his bench. <br /> A CEO puzzles on a major corporate merger while <br /> a prostitute puzzles on how to survive out in the cold and <br /> a brilliant lawyer captures the imagination of the courtroom <br /> as the jury no longer cares if his client did the crime and <br /> an esoteric recluse knows the answers to most problems but <br /> no longer believes in the goodness of mankind and <br /> we're learning the motion of heaven. <br /> <br /> Children are born with diseases beyond curing while <br /> a baseball player sits unless he gets a million more. <br /> A killer stalks a city with a rage beyond all caring while <br /> a priest struggles with lust that's getting harder to control and <br /> a figure skater raises human grace another level <br /> as her breathtaking jumps reach a height before unknown and <br /> a criminal learns to take more money from the system in <br /> schemes of never before attempted temerity and stealth and <br /> we're learning the motion of heaven. <br /> <br /> A hero stops to help the victim of an accident while <br /> a hockey goalie stops the championship game's last shot. <br /> A factory worker runs an assembly line like clockwork while <br /> a poet tries to capture life's complexities and depth and <br /> a doctor's idea in a desperate operation <br /> saves the life of a man when most all hope was gone and <br /> a receiver catches the superbowl's final winning touchdown and <br /> a clean up hitter hits the world series final game home run and <br /> we're learning the motion of heaven.<br /><br />Michael J.
