Wayfaring...

"I have nothing but patience to fill the gap between my old ideals and my actual achievement." -- Ursula Le Guin (from Malafrena, which I am enjoying very much, but am setting aside for a few days because the third volume of Becky Chambers Wayfarer series Record of a Spaceborn Few just arrived on my doorstep and I could use an enjoyable contemporary read right about now, yay!)
