We rush through our days in such stress and intensity, as if we were here to stay and the serious project of the world depended on us. We worry and grow anxious; we magnify trivia until they become important enough to control our lives. Yet all the time, we have forgotten that we are but temporary sojourners on the surface of a strange planet spinning slowly in the infinite night of the cosmos.
In our daily lives, we often find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of stress and urgency, behaving as if our every action shapes the future of the world. This constant pressure leads to unnecessary worries that can blow small issues out of proportion, making them seem crucial to our existence. We forget to take a step back and perspective on the trivial matters that dominate our thoughts and actions.
John O'Donohue...
