Bavarian sugar cookies

  "As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be okay.

 Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy...there are Bavarian sugar cookies.

 And fortunately, when there aren´t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin...

 Or a kind and loving gesture...

 Or a subtle encouragement...

 Or a loving embrace...

 Or an offer of comfort.

 Not to mention hospital gurneys...

 And nose plugs...

 And uneaten Danish...

 And soft spoken secrets...

 And Fender Stratocasters...

 And maybe, the occasional piece of fiction."

  "Stranger than fiction"(2006). Marc Forster.
