embracing change.

“Every one of us is called upon, probably many

times to start a new life.  A frightening diagnosis,

a marriage, a move, a loss of a job…

And onward full tilt we go, pitched and wrecked and

absurdly resolute, driven in spite of everything to make

good on a new shore.  To be hopeful, to embrace one

possibility after another– that is surely the basic

instinct…Crying out:  High Tide!

Time to move out into the glorious debris.  Time

to take this life for what it is.”

Barbara Kingsolver, High Tide in Tuscan
