That really speaks, J.F.--so relevant. I've been running across the thought lately; it is enough. I am a bit older(maybe a younger old man!), so am somewhat settled. But contrasting that with diminishing years that I don't wish to waste; I don't want to regret trying the new. But that anchor, that reference point, he is enough. Yes.

I hear you. "It is enough." That's a beautiful thought, and a gift that you are tuned in and quiet enough to hear it. I am probably squarely middle-aged, halfway between settled and restless, and I have a feeling of urgency about some things, even a feeling sadness and loss at times. I believe desire can propel us into good things. But I also have a sense of urgency about cultivating contentment, if that makes sense, because I don't want to miss the beauty of what is in front of me. (I have small children, and I hear they grow up fast!)
