“All roads seem to have come back to Doctor Who in our life. But, no, it was a huge part of my growing up.

“I want you to stop running from thing to thing to thing, and to sit down at the table, to offer the people you love something humble and nourishing, like soup and bread, like a story, like a hand holding another hand while you pray. We live in a world that values us for how fast we go, for how much we accomplish, for how much life we can pack into one day. But I'm coming to believe it's in the in-between spaces that our lives change, and that the real beauty lies there.” PeopleWorldWantBelieveRealStoriesHandsRunningLyingValuesSpaceOur LivesPrayingOne DayOffersTablesHumbleAccomplishBreadLife ChangingI Want YouPacksSoupReal BeautyHand Holding Author:Shauna Niequist

“We try to organize the world, which isn't organized the way our brains want to organize it. We tell stories about the people in our lives, we project ideas onto them.

“When I was 16, my friends and I were all starting to think about what we were going to do with our lives, and I started picturing myself majoring in dance at college traveling around with a contemporary dance company, and it didn't excite me as I thought it would all those years. I was just thinking about the things that I loved most about dance, which was entertaining and telling a story, and that's when I kind of opened my eyes again to acting.” ThinkingYearsKindStoriesEyeActingCompanyOur LivesCollegeMy FriendsStartingContemporaryEntertaining Author:Haley Lu Richardson
