Whatever you do with your life-whatever you end up achieving or not achieving-the great gift you have in you to give to the world is the gift of who you alone are; your way of seeing things, and saying things, and feeling about things, that is like nobody elseโs. If so much as a single one of you were missing, there would be an empty place at the great feast of life that nobody else in all creation could fill.
Frederick BuechnerTo remember the past is to see that we are here today by grace, that we have survived as a gift.
