"Let me keep my distance, always from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!” and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads."

"Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." Mary Oliver

Deprivation, not power. Vulnerability, not rescue. Obscurity, not honour. "How often I find the restraint of God offensive."
