Wisdom from PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK

7 Comments

Experiencing the present purely is being emptied and hollow; you can catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall. 

These are our few live seasons. Let us live them as purely as we can, in the present. 

You don’t run down the present, pursue it with baited hooks and nets. You wait for it, empty-handed, and you are filled.

      I read this with a book club years ago and have pages and pages of quotes I collected, every one a gem.
