WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown/48581/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Barbara Brown Taylor</b></a></p><blockquote>I think we’d like life to be a train. And you get on and pick a destination and get off. And it turns out to be a sailboat. And everyday, you have to see where the wind is and check the currents and see if there’s anybody else on the boat you can help out. But it is a sailboat ride. And the weather changes, and the currents change, and the wind changes. It’s not a train ride. That’s the hardest thing I’ve had to accept in my life. I just thought I had to pick the right train.</blockquote><p><b>Barbara Brown Taylor</b> (b. 1951) American minister, academic, author<br>Interview (2014-11-09), “Why Life Is Like a Sailboat Ride,” by Oprah Winfrey, <i>Super Soul Sunday</i>, 05×522, Oprah Winfrey Network</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown/48581/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown…</a> </p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>change</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=choices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>choices</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=decisionmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>decisionmaking</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=destination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>destination</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=expectations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>expectations</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>life</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=planning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>planning</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=sailboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sailboat</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>train</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=living" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>living</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humancondition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humancondition</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=outcomes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outcomes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>simplicity</span></a></p>
