Interruptions

Henri Nouwen, in his book "Reaching Out," says: "I met an older experienced professor who had spent most of his life there (University of Notre Dame). And while we strolled over the beautiful campus, he said with a certain melancholy in his voice, 'You know....my whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work.'" (Henri J.M. Nouwen, Reaching Out, Garden City., N.Y.: Doubleday & Co., Inc., 36)
