It's hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better that the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and prescence of mind sooner than those of lofty character.
Walter Scott
For the first time I feel like a heartbeat, the seconds pumping in my breast like a reckoning; the numerous mysteries that once seemed so distant and unreal threatening clarity in the prescence of a truth not entertained in youth, but only in its passage. I feel these words as if their meaning were weight being lifted from me, knowing that you will read them and share my burden as I have come to trust no other. That you should know my heart, look into it, finding there the memory and experience that belong to you, is a comfort to me now as I feel the tethers loose and the prospects darken for the continuance of a journey that began not so long ago, and which began again with a faith shaken and strenghthened by your convictions. If not for which I might never have been so strong now as I cross to face you and look at you incomplete, hoping that you will forgive me for not making the journey with you.
Scully - "X-files"

It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.
