There are slices of one’s life when great
expectations don’t materialize and
anticipation melts into despair. Maybe
that kind of response is humanly unavoidable,
but we must be careful not to wrap ourselves
in blankets of it. We’ve got to keep pouring
fresh, fervent hopes and plans into our psyche.
It’s the only way to kick up our legs and start
running through the tall green grass, again.
