I clipped this out of Smithsonian magazine a few years ago. I love the way it is written, the words and the pace, and I love what it says about life and faith….
“…..I live on a beautiful, difficult, windblown farm, and I have an old John Deere tractor. Starting it at 20 below takes the patience of Mr. Rogers. And yet, when it snows you must somehow coax the ice-cold engine to life and then you plow. When you’ve plowed and think you’re done, you put the tractor away, and it snows again. And then you have to plow again, and then it snows again. But the lesson I have learned is that if you keep on plowing after each snow, eventually you will get to spring.”

Because I had to do a paper on a candidate interview process, I thought of you. It is for my Ethics and Legal Issues for a MEd class I am taking at the Newport Navy Base. After 10 seconds this came up – so easy to find people in a world even where communication between folks these days is so much easier – they are still finding it harder to get along!
