From an Anne Lamott piece about Sarah Palin:

This is the only way miracles ever happen — left foot, right foot, left foot, breathe. Right foot, left foot, right foot, breathe. The great novelist E.L. Doctorow once said that writing a novel is like driving at night with the headlights on: You can only see a little ways in front of you, but you can make the whole journey this way. It is the truest of all things; the only way to write a book, raise a child, save the world.

Reminds me of the Steve Jobs commencement speech, an Anne Beattie quote from Jacklighting that I will find at home and post (the interwebs are letting me down tonight) and, in fact, of the title of this very blog. I think I seek desperately (and have not yet definitively found) faith that, as a card on Hilary’s fridge right in front of me says:

Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” – Max Ehrmann
