Quote of the Day

I also learned that you didn't come into this earth as a perfectionist or control freak.  You weren't born a person of cringe and contraction.  You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes.  You learned contraction to survive, but that was then.  You have paid through the nose -- paid but good.  It is now your turn to reap.

-- Anne Lamott, Stitches, p. 34
