Balancing chaos and contemplation -- maintaining serenity in the face of potentially overwhelming external events. I sometimes wonder whether this is the true task of being human. In the greater scheme of things moving the worldly aspects of my life from one place to another pales in its significance. In its immediate impact on me and my aging body and in its effect on the care that we give to our animals and on the care that I take with my spiritual life the significance is huge. Scale. I am less than a pin-prick in the fabric of creation, yet I am all that I really know. So I move on - 'creeps on this petty pace from day to day' thankful for friends and relationships and family that keep me connected with God and the Great Reality beyond my fleshly existence.
Speaking of relationships and family, I miss my daughter. I haven't been able to connect with her for quite a while, and it makes me sad.
