From Today’s Touchstones: “Our addictive natures have led us men to overemphasize reason and the control it promises. We've become reasonable while discarding the less controlled, creative, humorous, mysterious, and personal aspects of our lives.” (1/)
“At this very moment we may be so focused on figuring out the reasonable answer to a problem that we are blocking the gut message which is also here for us.”Definitely need to remember this - my devotion to “logic” is really a desire to manipulate. (2/)
If I know the inputs and outputs, I can try to game the system to get what I want. When I demand the satisfaction of concrete answers, I’m losing out on the joy and wonder that comes with accepting something as a mystery. More and more my journey is about doing LESS. (3/)
Accept there are things that I cannot know. Take it in/appreciate it instead of trying to make it something else. Above all, remember that I don’t know everything and I don’t have to. I can just enjoy the experience I’m living. (4/x)
