I ran across this quotation from Thomas Merton in an online article by Gordon MacDonald at Leadership Journal. It stopped me and made me think about how I live.
Some of us need to
Discover that we will not
Begin to live more
Fully until we have the
Courage to do and see
And taste and experience
Much less than usual.

Good stuff, Matt. Isn’t discovering what’s most important among the many good things in our lives the great challenge?
Sometimes I feel like Steve Martin’s character at the end of “The Jerk” – “I don’t need anything else…”
Absolutely, Kevin. The challenge and the joy is finding what matters most and, really, it’s not about stuff.
