Obviously, Channing Walker was deeply inspired by a 97-year-old Iranian woman who survived eight days and nights after an earthquake trapped her in the rubble of her home. Her amazing story moved him to write a beautifully thoughtful and poetic piece [" 'God kept me alive' "] in the January 26 issue.

After musing on his life compared to hers and the inner resources that sustained her, he concludes his article, "Thank you, Shahr-Banou Mazandarani, for saying and for proving for one more moment, 'God kept me alive.' " Thank you, Mr. Walker, for each powerful word of your article.
