Quotes
"If everything is under control, you're going too slow." Mario Andretti
Isn't is all relative, the pace at which life moves? For some, too slow, for others, too fast. For some change is exciting for others the most simplest of change is overwhelming and disorienting.(OK, this is me pondering, not a quote)
"Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand
that this too, was a gift."
Mary Oliver, "The Uses of Sorrow" in Thirst: Beacon Press 2006

I was afraid it might be a tax collector or a proctologist or something.
:-)
More seriously, I am at the point where I wonder if the Mary Oliver quote could be true.
I presume that by "years" she means "decades."
the "box full of darkness" quote stopped me dead. so true.
peace be with you
