nnySometimes the world overwhelms me.
There is so much that I haven't done, so much I haven't read or seen or heard, so many places I haven't been that it almost seems pointless to try. I will never know everything so what's the point of knowing anything? I feel like I ought to narrow my focus a little, at least know everything about something - somehow make the world a little smaller so there's some hope of conquering it.
I don't need to conquer it.
I don't think there is an ultimate truth. I don't believe that there will ever be an end to what we can discover, and that's as close to God as makes no difference: the fact that we will never reach the end of what there is.
My knowledge is patchy and uncertain, but so is everyone's. I don't know everything about anything, but I know enough to have a reasonably intelligent conversation about a number of things and I am always willing to learn more. And I always will. Every day.
So hey, I'm happy for the world to overwhelm me. I'll go with it. Because I'm not the best at anything but I'm fairly happy with who and what I am, just now, and the moments where that's true feel like the point.
