“Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:

For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods”

"Many of us resist transition because we fear the journey found in the liminal space, where there is no clear direction forward. But in order to arrive at a new beginning that has any real meaning, we must go through it.

“I smile. No plan can take everything into account. Other people will raise their heads, others will desert. Time will go on spreading victory and defeat among those who pursue the struggle.
I sip with satisfaction. We deserve the warmth of baths. May the days be aimless.
Do not advance the action according to a plan.”
― Luther Blissett, Q
