  Novelist and columnist Anna Quindlen reflects on what it takes to get a life - to live deeply every day and from your own unique self, rather than merely to exist through your days. She says: Life is made of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a line stretch of grey cement. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won't happen. We have to teach ourselves to live, really live...to love the journey, not the destination. But how to live from that perspective? To fully engage in our days? Quindlen offers an understanding that comes from knowing how to see the view, the richness in living.
