"Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught, and in which we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit."

— Pema Chödrön (quote from When Things Fall Apart)

Good one. I read that book in college which I completely forgot until now. It reminds me that just the other day I said to Lee, I would like "timing is everything" on my tombstone. Though probably "timing was everything" is more appropriate.

Ah, I see where this is going.

Ah huh I see where it's going too. Do you see it Tea? ;) Clever Brett.

I don't get it.

A word is being spelled, is that it? But what word?

Wah!

I am loving this. In my dim-witted way, I have no idea where it's going, but hope it keeps going for a little while. :-) Was thinking about the Wendell Berry quote all day yesterday.

I'm afraid I don't know what the word is going to be, but I was very happy to see a post from you come to my Bloglines list!

I think I got it (after googling to make sure). The door is slowly creaking...

Welcome back, my friend. For however long you feel up to it. You have been missed.
