Everything vs Nothing

    

 

Most of us aren't going to be rich or famous. Presumably, we have made our peace with that reality, and have set ourselves to the discovery what is it that we will do with the gifts God has given us. A joyful life is, quite simply, a life that has found that path. A life that knows why it is here. A life that knows the worth of everything, and what is worth nothing at all. I have found this summer the following:

             Don’t think—
                   look.
             Don’t study—
                   see.
            Don’t try to reason it all out—
                   go with your God-given gifts.
            Don’t stay in your mind—
                  let go of it
            and allow it to let go of you.
            Dare to be in your eyes
            and see with your soul
                             and live with whatever results.
