A quote from one of my Christmas gifts.

"...Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Do not...seek the answers, 3which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will...graduall, without noticing it, live along soome distant day into the answer."
~Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to a Young Poet. Letter No. 4. Translated by M.D. Herter

"You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you." - Frederick Buechner

"....I believe in plodding. Productivity is more a matter of diligent, long-distance hiking than it is one-hundred-yard dashing. Doing a little bit now is far better than hoping to do a lot on the morrow. So redeem the fifteen minute spaces. Chip away at it. For example, I have a stack of six books that I am working through most weekday mornings -- a page or two of each every time I sit down to read. I do the same thing with writing -- if you have time for a little bit, then do a little bit."
