“And then God gave me insight: this was winter. It would end, in time, but not by my own doing. My responsibility was simply to know the season, and match my actions and inactions to it. It was to learn the slow hard discipline of waiting.

It was my time to walk without sight.”

We look forward to a disreputable, vigorous, unhonoured, and disorderly old age.”
