About this blog
"... each of us is given some seventy years, a decent amount of time and such a niggardly small gift when you have the eyes to see the gifts you must leave. In that time you shouldn't be afraid to take out a year or two or even more to do something not in the straight path you originally chose. You shouldn't be afraid to watch the slow turning of the stars and clouds and strange people, for although family, country, and abiding loves will never afterwards be holy, they will have become tender and subtle in unimagined ways."
