10a. “Perhaps it takes a lifetime to really learn to live fully in the moment, but there is no better classroom than the raw, damp month of April in New Hampshire.  As soon as I stop wishing for things to be different, I am met by the beauty of what is – a family on the brink of change, a friend at my side, a narrow country road slick with rain, the first tiny coils of sweet fern, tender and delicate as question marks, poking up through the hummusy leaf rot on the forest floor.”  Katrina Kenison, The Gift of an Ordinary Day
