American writer Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) was the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry and a third for his six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln. During his lifetime he was regarded as a major figure in American contemporary literature. When Sandburg died in 1967, then-President Lyndon Johnson stated, “Carl Sandburg was more than the voice of America, more than the poet of its strength and genius. He was America.”

Great quote. Perhaps those people who are constantly worrying about “what horrible thing might happen” should instead look forward to “the unexpected” and new unforeseen possibilities!

I’ve long sensed in prayer-meditation that answers would come to me rather than me coming to them. Amen to Sandburg.

Yes, I rarely find answers or solutions or whatever I’m seeking. They find me, and usually when I’m thinking about something else. Cheers, Deb
