THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
"Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better."
~Annie Dillard (The Writing Life)
