The Glorious Debris

“Every one of us is called upon, probably a few times, to start a new life. A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, 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 surely is 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, from High Tide in Tucson
