What sustains us:
- telling stories
- an irrational hope
- apples, the season’s last tomatoes, a sprinkle of snow
- outrageous aspirations
- our faith in the final rightness of things
- that we're not traveling alone
- ideological firmness
- the act of kindness
- the empty landscape
- when we find a way to be compassionate
- greater than we are and beyond our control
- prayer
- is not something ordinary
- our culture
- the dark energy to which we go periodically to be renewed
- what precedes us
- a form of realization of what it is we already are
- a sense that there is a promised land
- the primal temple
- the consciousness that, after all, we are right, and that though things may move slowly, yet the end is sure
- everywhere and in everything—or it’s nowhere at all
