the brilliant, yet so simple, question confronted me today. what is it you want? what the fuck are you looking for? i've been on a path pursuing so many important passions for so long. now that they are coming to completion, what am i looking for?
i've hesitated to answer the question too fast. i hear myself say, "wait for just a few minutes... take some time just to be... don't pursue things just to be busy... just be. be at peace for awhile."
but then in the quietness of this, i ask myself, what is it that would be perfect in my life right now? what is it that i want? the response: i don't have a fucking clue. so i'll just keep being. and contemplating. and then i realize, even this moment plants something in my soul. this is a good moment.
"Every moment and every event of each person's life on earth plants something in their soul." Thomas Merton
