“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it,
no less than in 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,
Pastor and novelist who turned 92 this week!
