Do you ever feel like you have no idea what you're doing in this life? Yeah, me too. The wind keeps blowing and the clock keeps ticking and no matter how much we think we know about the world, the sea remains vastly uncharted. Even though we learn to better navigate the twists and turns, we will always face an unknown future. We decide ~ in advance, of course ~ that the unknown is difficult or scary. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. But we fall overboard and immediately think it's the be-all-end-all. I laugh when I find myself pawing blindly through situations that, once I step back and view them more objectively, really aren't that hard. "I can't see!", exclaims the panicked child upon entering a dark room. Ok, so what would you like to do about that?
