Never fully settled

What happens when you get a good answer to your question? You quickly come up with the next question.

When a problem is solved, another problem is sure to come along. After a mystery is resolved, you’re eager to find a new mystery.

Life is never fully settled. It’s much better to be thankful for that than anxious about it.

You’ll find some answers, yet you’ll never have all the answers. And at some point you realize the joy is in the seeking more than in the knowing.

What’s over the horizon, how will the rest of the year unfold? There’s great richness in the effort necessary to cross that horizon and to participate in events as they play out.

Appreciate the process of discovery as it happens. For it sets you up to discover, and live and learn and love, even more.
