“The lists of genealogy remind me how small my life is in the story of God’s people in this expanse of time. These lists remind me that I am among generations of people who sought and searched for an intimate relationship with their Creator. They remind me that the problems of my life are not new.” –Pam Ferguson, Fruit of the Vine

The Best Kept Secret

The best-kept secret of them all:

Here is enough.

Now is plenty.

Waiting for something else is to scorn diamonds.

Running elsewhere is to cast off pearls.

Take the jewels and adorn yourself.

You will never glow more brilliantly than here;

you will never be more radiant than now.

–Carol Bialock, Coral Castles
