And how ungrateful and irreverent we are to listen so little and watch so casually when angels themselves have moved into the house.”

In lives that lack centres, it makes sense that these concrete tasks could fill the void: if we cannot name the moral terrain of our lives, we can make parenting our crucial moral task. And if this results in giving too much space to our children, it is only because we do not know what that space might otherwise contain.”
