“Listen to your life.
See it for the fathomless mystery it is.
In the boredom and pain of it,
no less than in the excitement and gladness:
touch, taste, smell
your way to the holy and hidden heart of it,
because in the last analysis
all moments are key moments,
and life itself is grace.”
― Frederick Buechner, Now and Then: A Memoir of Vocation
