We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite
knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we
turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes
almost as soon as it comes…
–Madeleine L’Engle, from The Rock That Is
Higher
I came across this quote online today. I find I appreciate Madeleine L'Engle's books more now than I did as a child--there is a depth to them I failed to understand when I was younger. I may make it a goal to read more of her books this summer.
