“You can only come to the morning through the shadows.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“The key to a productive and contented life is “planned neglect”—knowing what not to do and being content with saying no to truly good, sometimes fantastic, opportunities. This happens only when you realize how truly limited you are, that you must steward your little life, and that of all the best things to do on the planet, God wants you to do only a miniscule number.”
― Tim Challies, Do More Better: A Practical Guide to Productivity

“Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“Every day in each inch of space, each rhythm of time, each practice of love, we have the chance to join God in coming home, in living so that we make a home of this broken and beautiful world all over again. Love is enfleshed in the meals we make, the rooms we fill, the spaces in which we live and breathe and have our being.”
― Sally Clarkson, The Lifegiving Home: Creating a Place of Belonging and Becoming
