“There is the thing you hope for and then, beyond it, like a prize kept locked and out of reach behind the counter, there is the thing you dare not hope for. To win it without expectation, without warning, and–worst of all–without earning it in any way, is for the world to become a magical place. One in which prayers are not answered, and wrongs are not righted, nor anything kept in balance, but punishments and rewards are given at random, as if by a drunk or insane king. Which is to say: a hurtful place to live.” – Andrew Sean Greer (The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells) #mtwittenberg #mtwittenbergtrail #catskillpark #ny #vscocam
