So in the midst of educating and parenting our children, we can't necessarily go ahead and make everything fit into neat, controllable, simple schedules.

The reason is plain enough: none of these, nor all of them taken together, represents an integrated world conception into which we fit ourselves with pure belief and trust.” WorldTryingChildrenReasonEnoughHandsTogetherBeliefChurchWonderTakenOur LivesSourceFitPureBreathsOur ChildrenFirmQueensPriestsConceptionRitualAnxiousGlimpseAstrologyIntegratedElbowsProcessionQuickening Author:Ernest Becker
