it may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.” — Wendell Berry
I don’t know about y’all but not knowing what to do next, what God’s plan is for me, and all those type of questions is pretty much a constant state. It is a time of great fear and great faith. If one believes Wendell Berry my mind must be constantly “employed,” and I must be on one hell of a “journey.” It is reassuring however to know that I am not alone in this feeling, and I have come to believe much like Berry that what is important is that we continue to ask about “what to do next” and that we continue to travel.
