About Me
- EL
- Life is about adapting. I don't always do it gracefully..but am going to keep trying to! My favorite quote: "Life is not a drama of four or five acts. Sometimes it just drifts along; it may go on year after year without development, without a climax, without definite beginnings or endings. Or it may accumulate climax upon climax, and if one chooses to mark it with beginnings and endings, then everything has a beginning and an ending. There are, in this sense, no good or bad stories. In life, we usually don't know when an event is occurring; we think it is starting when it is already ending; and we don't see its in/significance. The present, which saturates the total field of our environment, is often invisible to us." ~Trinh T. Minh-ha
