"If we are going to keep on growing, we must keep on risking failure throughout our lives."

today was a long day, but a good one. a very good one. It was a quiet rainy day and I heard some very clear words in the peace. I have news and I want to shout it, but this is neither the time nor the place. Ha. I know, the suspense is killing you. I suppose you will just have to guess or call me.
"Christianity is about water... Most of what we do in worldly life is geared toward our staying dry, looking good, not going under. But in Baptism, in lakes and rain and tanks and fonts, you agree to do something that's a little sloppy because at the same time it's also holy and deserved. It's about surrender, giving in to all those thing we can't control: it's a willingness to let go of balance and decorum and get drenched." -- Ann Lamott

"If I ever feel I am getting to the point where I'm playing it safe, I'll stop. That's all I can tell you about how I plan for the future."
--Miles Davis
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves... Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually , without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
- Rainer Maria Rilke
