life is not a task to be completed. we are here, i think, for a thoughtful life of purposefulness and gladness, to be a little wonder-smitten sometimes, and sometimes to be sad, and then perhaps, if we are lucky, to create something from those things that are like little shells to which others can put up their ears, and be heard.

if anything is 'success,' it is that. and i don't think there's anything passive in that at all. it is, in its own way, a devotional pursuit.

thank you for your Words.
