"Sooner or later we will come to the edge
of all that we can control
and find life, waiting there for us."

This quote is featured in our Quote Zone, and I love it. It's from Dr. Remen's book My Grandfather's Blessings, which I discovered several years ago while on a personal odyssey (as it turned out) visiting a friend in New Mexico.
It had quite an impact on me. I come from a long line of detail-oriented women who (attempt to) leave very little to chance. When my kids were small, my need for control — and it approached obsessive-compulsive levels in those sleep-deprived days — caused a lot of pain in this house.
