The important thing is not to accomplish but to be in the process of accomplishing, to live, to feel, to love, to labor, to be fully alive in the awareness of the beauty and the tragedy of life.

Create no images of God.  Accept the images that God has provided.  They are everywhere, in everything.  God is Change — Seed to tree, tree to forest;  Rain to river, river to sea;  Grubs to bees, bees to swarm.  From one, many;  from many, one;  Forever uniting, growing, dissolving — forever Changing.  The universe is God’s self-portrait.
    ―     Octavia E. Butler

“I didn’t make up the problems,” I pointed out.  ‘All I did was look around at the problems we’re neglecting now and give them about 30 years to grow into full-fledged disasters.’
“Okay,” the young man challenged.  “So what’s the answer?”
“There isn’t one,” I told him.
“No answer?  You mean we’re just doomed?”  He smiled as though he thought this might be a joke.
“No,” I said.  “I mean there’s no single answer that will solve all of our future problems.  There’s no magic bullet.  Instead there are thousands of answers – at least.  You can be one of them if you choose to be.”
    —    Octavia E. Butler
