I know most people try hard to do good and find out too late they should have tried softer. I’ve never in my whole life been levelheaded, but the older I get, I’m more level-hearted— and I think we make gods who look like us for a reason. I think, in spite of it all, we trust we can be believed in. When I don’t believe in myself, I try to remember I have walked on water, like, seven-hundred times in Maine in the dead of winter.
