onward full tilt...: on today

“Every one of us is called upon, perhaps many times, to start a new life. A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, loss of a job or a limb or a loved one...it's impossible to think at first how all this will be possible. Eventually, what moves it all forward is the subterranean ebb and flow of being alive among the living... And onward full-tilt we go, pitched and wrecked and absurdly resolute, driven in spite of everything to make good on a new shore...Crying out: High tide! Time to move out into the glorious debris. Time to take this life for what it is.” Barbara Kingsolver, High Tide in Tuscon: Essays from Now or Never
