The Web of Lydia's Life

Every moment makes a contribution,
Every little detail plays a part.
Having just the vision's no solution,
Everything depends on execution.
Putting it together --
That's what counts.

(From Sondheim's Sunday in the Park With George)

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.
Whatever enchants, also guides and protects. Passionately obsessed by anything we love -- sailboats, airplanes, ideas -- an avalanche of magic flattens the way ahead, levels rules, reason, dissents, bears us with it over chasms, fears, doubts. Without the power of that love, we're boats becalmed on the seas of boredom, and those are deadly...

(From Richard Bach's The Bridge Across Forever)
