“We can walk in such a way that we arrive with each step—not walking just to get somewhere else.”

“Like Phoenix, you work all your life to find your way, through all the obstructions and the false appearances and the upsets you may have brought on yourself, to reach a meaning—using inventions of your imagination, perhaps helped out by your dreams and bits of good luck.

― Eudora Welty, On Writing
