"Life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now."                    --Thich Nhat Hahn  

I can’t say I have confidence in the future, but I have a lot of confidence in its unpredictability, based on the fact that the past has regularly delivered surprises... The world that is coming is something we can work toward but not something we can foresee. We need to have confidence that surprise and uncertainty are unshakable principles."  -- Rebecca Solnit
