Tired Wonder: Beginnings and Endings Quotes

“Psalms 151 - One Plus One Equals One You are the bridge that gets me over the low places, what holds me together between the gaps. When I feel like I have lost myself, you are the way and the map. Not all who wander are lost, but I feel like I am wandering in the dark. Traveling blindly down a path that I can’t see, you light my pathway with your spark. I feel unstable, unknowing what’s ahead, you lead me out of the shadow of death. When I’m just holding on by a thread, you are the one who gives me breath. You are my life, you are my truth, you are my wife, you are my root, when times are hard, you help me through. You’re my counterpart, we’ve been fused, now one plus one equals one, not two.”

“Immiscible with the Congregation I am a drop of oil in this bucket of water. We are immiscible about the immutability, Infallibility, and inerrancy of their ideas. They live in the polarities of good and bad, heaven and hell, a god and a devil, Christian and not. But life is too nuanced, history too complex; my mind is too neutral to mix. Are there any more drops of oil in here? Someone that has actually looked into the water and can’t be mixed into the multitude? Each week, the congregation is baptized in the idea that everyone needs an outside entity. What I need is to know myself. To be aware of the arising of the mind. To notice what is appearing and to watch it dissipate. To know that I am not the trail of thoughts that I get caught in. I need to watch thoughts arise, To let them go, and to pay attention to the thread. What I need is not outside, but it’s not necessarily inside either; it is the awareness itself of what is happening in both places. What I need is what is. That is my salvation. That is what I need. I am saved with each moment that I am aware. Amen.”

“What is my life worth, my time worth, my well-being worth? What will I give it up for, at what price? Truly, what good is it to gain everything, whether money and possessions, knowledge and power, fame and influence, likes and followers, or anything the outside world has to offer you? Is it not temporal? Is it worth losing your mind and your well-being?”

“The practice: mindful awareness of thoughts. What is the end goal: To be an Equanimous wise old man. What is the goal in this moment: To be an Equanimous young man. The journey is the goal- and the journey is lived each moment. Each moment is practice. Cyclical. Changing.”

“We have been here before, staring at the slow slide of a stick, waiting, waiting, waiting… Year after year, there was no room for us in the inn, no shepherds, no angels, no prophecies, no hope, no coming. But this time, two lines herald the Eve of a birth Two lines, like the beginning and ending of a chapter of our lives. Handel could not compose something so beautiful. Gabriel could not bring better news. All the year’s fortune changes in the end, as new life evolves.”

“Anyone who has gone through this process knows that every month is filled with anxiety, hope, tears, frustration, crushing disappointment, and hoards of negative tests. You learn not to hope and to expect a bad turn. Each month builds on every emotion. It can pry couples apart and drive people mentally into the ground. Luckily, we have used this season to lean into each other and become closer. We have been each other’s foundation to stand on and compass to follow when we didn’t know what to do. We have had to let go of the way we thought this would go and walk into unexpected paths.”
