"When there is always a book to be read
or a book to write, a sermon to prepare
or a retreat to lead, a letter to write
or a call to make, my self-imposed
pressure leaves little time to simply
live, for being human and playful, for
delighting in pecan waffles and
Scrabble. Is my life slipping by without
making time to be a friend with my
friends?"-b.manning.

....how true this is in my life...
