Do We Have to Win It?
And,
on Kate Bowler’s podcast (which is one of my favorites) she interviewed Father Ron Rolheiser.
He said something like we all will have “unfinished symphonies” in our lives.
We should prepare now to expect this and grieve this now, not hold regrets of “should have..” at the end of our lives.
ooh, I really appreciate that idea. It's not about the successes or completions we amass, because tying everything up in a bow isn't really possible anyway, but "unfinished symphony" gives honor to our muddling!
"If we stay clear of hardened certainty and embrace openness, there’s something new, perhaps better, on the way."
Love this. It's a hard lesson for me, but working on it!
Me too!
Really enjoyed reading this. Soooooo relatable. Thanks!
