“Crisis is the only invariable constant for people schooled in codependency. But how would I deal with the uneventful and commonplace? It was the disconsolation of the ordinary that I found most difficult to accept. I needed a book about When Ordinary Things Happen to Average People. I needed a spirituality of the uneventful, of the low places in one’s life that are neither deep nor exhilaratingly high.”
–Belden Lane, The Solace of Fierce Landscapes, p. 94
