"But now I realize that apart from a few special days now and then, life mostly consists of one dull, insignificant day after another. Human beings are attracted to drama and variety. The humdrum we hold in disdain. Wrapped up in the routines of our daily lives, we let them slide by unnoticed. But I believe that hidden in these ordinary, unremarkable routines of life is a great truth that requires our attention.
By contemplating life as it is, stripped of all extraneous added value, I found I could let go of a myriad of things that have been gnawing at my mind. Through the prosaic repetition of [the Zen monastery's] exacting daily routines for washing the face, eating, defecating, and sleeping, this is the answer that I felt in my bones: accept unconditionally the fact of your life and treasure each moment of each day."

“The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.”
“To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.”
― Ursula Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
"You can sail off the edges of the earth; greet the workers of the universe. Still, nothing prepares you for loss of life."
