Now, you simply can't help but see God
in those unexpected places, moments and people.
How foolish to have assumed that he wouldn't be present there.

Do you understand how he does it, or what he's up to?
Of course not.
But, your understanding never really is the point
is it, my dear?

but...

Sometimes the questions, the analysis, the judging --
those simply aren't the things you need.
A tough realization when those are the very acts
to which you cling.

enjoy

In thinking about achievement, don't forget about enjoyment.

on understanding

You'll never understand it all.
So, there's no need to make that
a measurement in this life you're living.

inefficiency

Could I have been more efficient today?

Yes.

Is my life defined by my efficiency?

No.

the process

Go ahead. Get lost in it.

the inner life

You're so drawn there. In the face of an outwardly-focused world, that can be challenging. You question the significance of the moments you spend in the inner world. You see that they don't bring you closer to scalable fame and glory.

But the wise old soul in you knows -- that's not what you crave anyways. That's not what will fulfill you. Most of the world around you could benefit from more of that inner focus. So stop judging your investment, and give yourself the freedom to run there. Know that your affinity for that space will serve you well.
