“Two equally steep and bold paths may lead to the same peak. To act as if death did not exist, or to act thinking every minute of death, is perhaps the same thing.” IfsThinkingMayTwoPathMinutesSteep Book:Zorba the Greek Source: Zorba the Greek
“I truly believe my job starts the minute I leave the baseball field. Going out and catching ground balls and hitting, that's a job, and that's what I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid. But when you think about leaving that field, that's when the job and the demands really start. In New York, Seattle, every city. The community, the media, business stuff. You have to stay on a narrow path.” ThinkingBelieveKidsWantedJobsStuffSportsCommunityCitiesPathMinutesMediaNew YorkFieldsDemandBaseballBallsLeavingHittingGoing OutCatchingSeattleNarrow PathBaseball Field Author:Alex Rodriguez

“Narrative should flow as flows the brook down through the hills and the leafy woodlands...a brook that never goes straight for a minute, but goes and goes briskly, sometimes ungrammatically, and sometimes fetching a horseshoe of ¾ of a mile around and at the end of the circuit flowing within a yard of the path that it traversed an hour before; but always going and always following at least one law, always loyal to that law, the law of narrative, which has no law. Nothing to do but make the trip; the how of it is not important, so that the trip is made.” ShouldMadeImportantEndsSometimesLawHoursPathMinutesFlowFollowingMilesHillsNarrativeLoyalYardsBrooksCircuitsWoodlandHorseshoes Author:Mark Twain
“If my life is any example, the work that youth workers are doing is very, very important. It tends to get marginalized in the church or seen as less important than being a senior minister in a large, prosperous congregation; but I don't believe that for a minute. I think this is absolutely critical work in the life of the church; and I think my path in life would have been much different if it hadn't been for my youth minister, Burt Randle, and a series of campus ministers in both college and graduate school.” IfsThinkingBelieveHas BeensImportantDifferentSchoolLife IsChurchPathMinutesExampleYouthCollegeSeriesWorkersDon't BelieveCriticalMinistersGraduatesSeniorProsperousCampusCongregationMarginalizedGraduate School Author:Parker J.
