Quote of the day to those who live among the living

Every one of us is called upon, probably many times, to start a new life. A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, loss of a job or a limb or a loved one, a graduation, bringing a new baby home: it's impossible to think at first how this all will be possible. Eventually what moves it all forward is the subterranean ebb and flow of being alive among the living.
from Barbara Kingsolver "High Tide in Tucson"

Very nice! Maybe I should start reading Barbara Kingsolver.
