A Blessing...
May all your expectations be frustrated;
May all your plans be thwarted;
May all your desires be withered to nothingness...
That you may experience the powerlessness and poverty
of a child and sing and dance in the compassion of God
Who is Father, Son and Spirit. Amen
-Brennan Manning
"This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world; small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere."
-J. R. R. Tolkien
"I will not give you counsel, saying do this or do that. For not in doing, or in contriving, nor in choosing between this course or another, can I avail, but only in knowing what was, or is, and in part also what shall be."
-J. R. R. Tolkien
