Listen to your life
April 2, 2008
“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and the pain of it no less than the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.” - Frederick Buechner, Now and Then

Lovely! Hmmm… a nice quote to begin a memoir?

I’ve carried this quote in my calendar for 15 years. So it’s certainly been with me on the journey!

Lovely… as always. I used the quote you sent me from GWW on my blog. I’m keeping that one. I’m prepared to sharpie it onto the walls to remind myself that writing is uphill for everyone, not just me.
