a quote I got from a friend...
“I love the way the scenery changes… The lay of the land and the things people build on it all seem to be saying ‘don’t miss this -- this is a one-in-a-million scene.’ It’s in that quiet, too, that all the garbled, frantic feelings and thoughts begin to settle, and slowly you begin to see the shape of the love of God. The quiet, the still, small voice of God, the scenery, the freedom of this helpless moment where you have no opportunity to be a Martha -- just this privilege to sit like Mary.”
