[T[his isn’t just “another day, another dollar.” It’s more like “another day, another miracle.” (213) ↗
Whatever you eye falls on - for it will fall on what you love - will lead you to the questions of your life, the questions that are incumbent upon you to answer, because that is how the mind works in concert with the eye. The things of this world draw us where we need to go. ↗
