This quote is a present from my running partner who knows me so very well. Our conversations often circle back to the hard, steady work of doing the present task, from packing lunches to running miles to approaching creative endeavors that are unwieldy and unformed.

Beth didn’t know I ran this quote here at the blog a while back, largely as a message to myself. This lovely framed version has found a home over my desk, where it will serve as my daily reminder to cease striving and to find satisfaction in what’s in front of me.
