Better to have a stomach full of butterflies than to feel like your life is passing by.*
Rob Bell
It requires deep contemplation and commitment to living a real life, full of unsolvable secrets, puzzling riddles, unexplainable bliss, and terrible suffering.**
Arthur Brooks
At the Indian restaurant
we thought that we had to
choose from the dishes on the menu–
But it was a ten-course meal–
And it was wonderful.
-OR-
I sometimes wish
I didn’t get so nervous,
Double-guessing my decisions,
Thoughts taking over if I wake at night–
But I know I am alive.
