I guess the universe doesn't want everyone to save themselves in exactly the same way.

I felt like this was kind of a non-sequitur:

"Things take the time they take. Don’t worry.

How many roads did St. Augustine follow before he became St. Augustine?"

"Mary Oliver on the Measure of a Life Well Lived and How To Magnify Your Aliveness"

And then, instead of thinking about St. Augustine, I thought about how a person who used to praise, fawningly one might say, the genius of Neil Gaiman a lot before he became known as an abuser of nannies...might learn from that experience.
