"If we live with possibilities we are exiles……" — Thomas Merton

"If we live with possibilities we are exiles from the present which is given us by God to be our own, homeless and displaced in a future or a past which are not ours because they are always beyond our reach. The present is our right place, and we can lay hands on whatever it offers us."

Thomas Merton
