When a man has labored many years to clear away the false underbrush
that obscures his internal landscape, labored to come to terms with the
garden that lay underneath all along, the garden that will forever bear
the beauty and the scars of all the choices he has ever made; when a
man repeatedly has been brought to his knees in surrender to his
mortality, his strength, his love, his relationships, his flaws and his
gifts, his dignity, his regret, his happiness, his power to create and
to destroy, and perhaps most terrifying of all, his own spiritual
beauty, what does he do next? - Lloyd Meeker |
