It's been a while.
I've let my mind run down its fair share of rabbit holes lately, as it tends to do...
But I'm working on how to still allow this to happen while not completely tearing myself apart and not being able to get any work done.
It has to do with worrying. That's the thing I've been neglecting to notice for so long...I have no concept of the line between staring into the pool of curiosity and wading through it, refusing to get out, like a little kid in a hotel pool.
I came up with this credo tonight to summarize a new perspective I'm going for:
Don't let the oft-repeated to command not to worry confuse you. Don't not worry because of some implication that you're so silly for worrying in the first place, and that you should feel bad because there are other people who really have something to worry about, and you're not one of them. Don't worry, not because you have nothing to worry about, but because to not worry is an act of worship to the God whose presence is encountered in the midst of one's self-forgetfulness.
