And actually every human being is the hero of a drama … . Here is a person born with certain gifts, and usually fails, and his life is tremendous struggle to make something out of which he is born with; fighting against tremendous handicaps.**
Erich Fromm

When we finally get the hang of
the gifts and
failures and
limitations of our lives, something
amazing occurs – and,
Of course,
We never really get the hang of it, but,
That’s where the alchemy happens.
