"To be human is to live by sunlight
and moonlight and
with anxiety and
admitting limits and
transcending them, falling down
and rising up.
To want a life with only half of these
things in it is to want half a life,
shutting the other half away where
it will not interfere with one’s bright
fantasies of the way things
ought to be”
Barbara Brown Taylor
from "Learning to walk in the dark"
