All credit Frederick Buechner who had some amazingly insightful things to say even if he did rankle my nerves with his sometimes super-limiting beliefs all the same we all do our part and he shows me that even if I don’t agree even if his words and thoughts do not land on ears to hear all the time he leaned in stretched out to tell the world what he held to be true in the best and boldest way he possibly could and to this for this I continue to read and reopen so today ‘There are times for all of us when life seems without purpose or meaning when we wake to a sense of chaos like a great cat with its paws on our chests sucking our breath what can we do where can we turn well you can thank your lucky stars say many among us that the world is full of specialists who are working on these problems and you can turn to them these men and women who have put behind them all the ancient myths and dreams and superstitions and have dedicated themselves to finding solutions to these problems in the only place where solutions or anything else can be found which is here in the midst of the vast complexities of the cosmos itself which is all there is or ever was or ever will be’ this to me in this runon story space calls me to the place I return often to remind myself that I get to and that is the call to co-create that I am not here in futility of lack but rather in abundance of opportunity and even then of support and resource I return to this newness of the new day when I read these words of Buechner and go onto complete the work on the table in front of me do as he concludes which is to have courage and heart enough to follow the voice I hear urging me on to the end of time
