Every one of us is called upon, probably many times to start an new life.
A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, loss of a job...
And onward full tilt we go,
Pitched and wrecked and absurdly
resolute, driven in spite of
everything to make good on a new shore.
To be hopeful, to
embrace one possibility after another-that is surely the basic
instinct....crying out: HIGH TIDE!
Time to move out into the glorious debris.
Time to take
this life for what it is.
Barbara Kingsolver
from High Tide in Tucson
