“We have been here before, staring at the slow slide of a stick, waiting, waiting, waiting… Year after year, there was no room for us in the inn, no shepherds, no angels, no prophecies, no hope, no coming. But this time, two lines herald the Eve of a birth Two lines, like the beginning and ending of a chapter of our lives. Handel could not compose something so beautiful. Gabriel could not bring better news. All the year’s fortune changes in the end, as new life evolves.”

“We each make our solo voyages to deep, expansive waters. Alone in our contest with the wider world, we test our mettle and seek our trophies, promotions, compliments, and accolades. We strive to be needed and to thereby know that there is a reason for us. We seek to be told we are good because we're too unsure of ourselves to know. Yet often we remain so focused on our neediness that we forget the creatures—human and otherwise—we're drawing into the vortex of our own passion play. All of us have compulsive loves we must forbear. We forget to see that we can engage the world without harming it. And although we fish for approval, the challenge is: to capture our prizes while bringing more to the world than we take.”
