Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
I pray that some things always remain out of my reach, unattainable, unrealized, absolute but unknown. Nothing has been more tragic to me than my arrogant certainty, and nothing has been more reassuring than utter mystery. When I lose my grounding I can be thankful for the gravity pulling me back into the mud, and for the stars which reveal their light, even though I will never know them personally.
