Thoughtful Saturday

"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”
