"It's funny:
I always imagined when I was a kid
that adults had some kind of inner toolbox
full of shiny tools:
the saw of discernment,
the hammer of wisdom,
the sandpaper of patience.
But then when I grew up I found that
life handed you these rusty bent old tools -
friendships, prayer, conscience,
honesty - and said
'do the best you can with these, they will have to do'.
And mostly,
against all odds,
they do. "
