Quotation of the Day for December 12, 2003
"Childhood’s time is Adam and Eve’s time, before they left the garden for good, and from that time on divided everything into before and after. It is the time before God told them that the day would come when they would surely die, with the result that from that point on they made clocks and calendars for counting their time out like money and never again lived through a day of their lives without being haunted somewhere in the depths of them by the knowledge that each day brought them closer to the end of their lives."
- Frederich Buechner, The Sacred Journey.
