Buechner's search

"Whether we're rich or poor, male or female,...our stories are all stories of searching We search for a good self to be and for good work to do.  We search to become human in a world that tempts us always to be less than human or looks to us to be more.  We search to love and to be loved. And in a world where it is often hard to believe in much of anything, we search to believe in something holy and beautiful and life-transcending that will give meaning and purpose to the life we live."

F. Buechner, The Longing for Home, p.66
