answering me

There is always someone who says it better. And so, in response to my last post of a slow and anxious fumbling towards selfcogniscence I quote Josh Garrels, a lovely little mind whom I caught quoting someone else. He writes as follows:

...

above all, trust in the slow work of God.
we are quite naturally impatient
in everything to reach the end
without delay.
we should like to skip
the intermediate stages.
we are impatient of being
on the way to something unknown,
something new;
and yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability--
and that it may take
a very long time.

...accept the anxiety of
feeling yourself
in suspense
and incomplete.

-Teilhard de Chardin
