Keith Miller quotes about
We live in a constant fear that our shortcomings will be exposed to family, to friends and to the world
Memories must enter the bloodstream, must churn awhile through the heart's mill, must be crushed and polished, be nearly forgotten or cling like burs to other stories before they spill forth in purple patterns, shapes of small bones and worm rot, shapes of clouds and the spaces between leaves.
I'll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse. Playing cricket is not.
I am discovering that in trying to find God's will and the shape of the Christian life I have begun an adventure so great that its total completion will always be ahead.
I remember when I was a little boy my father didn't love me; he couldn't. He loved my older brother but he couldn't love me somehow, at least not in a way I could understand it.
I have learned to like myself for the first time and to have some serenity.
The way to love someone is to lightly run your finger over that person's soul until you find a crack, and then gently pour your love into that crack.
