By now, most of the world will know that an attempt was made on Benazir Bhutto's life last night, as she made a triumphant return to Pakistan after 8 years of exile.

As I watched events after the two explosions unfold last night, I heard foreign correspondent Christina Lamb reporting in. She had been on the bus, traveling as Bhutto's biographer. Curious I researched Christina this morning, a search made easy due to her having her own website.

I discovered that she has written some truly interesting books and was the muse for Paulo Coelho's book 'The Zahir'.

She seems like a remarkably interesting woman.

    And here's a quote to ponder:
    No one knows what is going to happen
    in the next few minutes,
    and yet people still go forward,
    because they have trust,
    because they have faith.
