Good Words

February 7, 2009 By Jenny Ryan 1 Comment

“I had been continually exhorted to define my purpose in life but I was now beginning to doubt whether life might not be too complex a thing to be kept within the bounds of a single formulated purpose, whether it would not burst its way out or, if the purpose was too strong, perhaps grow distorted like an oak whose trunk has been encircled with an iron band…So I began to have an idea of my life, not as a slow shaping of achievement to fit my preconceived purpose, but as the gradual discovery and growth of a purpose which I did not know.”

-Marion Milner

    Well put. I’ve been reading “The Renaissance Soul.” Why should I have a one-track life if I don’t have a one-track mind?
