“You can't see the future coming -- not the terrors, for sure, but you also can't see the wonders that are coming, the moments of light-soaked joy that await each of us.”
"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going,
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,
though I may know nothing about it.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone."
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
"Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
