"...

At the end of a life that has meaning, the point is not that one is

perfected, but that one will still carry a view of self and the

world that is divine—and not just some kind of lazy drift. The

point is to have enough stories that guide —that will allow life's

closing act to end with one's heart still bright, despite the gales

that have passed through it —so that it can be said that one has

lived with spiritual audacity.
