“But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.”
– George Eliot

“Tell me,’ I said. ‘Tell me when you notice me.’I notice you going into church,’ Joshua said. ‘I notice your hair, how blond it is. But how in some light it looks like it has red in it. I notice the way you smell when we’re close. And the way you walk when we’re headed home from church and your family gets out of the Temple first. I notice how you are with your family and how you hold your little sisters. I’ve seen you stand out on your doorstep and look across the desert. I’ve watched you walk toward the Compound fence and then on past that. You’ve been walking for years.”
— Carol Lynch Williams

“?”…the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”
— C.G. Jung
