When I was 25…
I didn’t know:
· My eventual career trajectory
· How I would go about writing and publishing books
· The importance of stretching every day
· The value of eating blueberries and other antioxidants
· The history of punk rock or grunge
· The names or genders of my future children
· The nuances of emotional intelligence
· The qualities of enduring relationships
I thought I knew:
· What God was all about
· What was most important
· The extent of my talents
I definitely knew:
· I was a writer
· I had a deep spiritual hunger
· I wanted to change the world, somehow
· I was way too afraid
Things I don’t know NOW:
· When I or the people I love will die
· Whom my children will marry and what my grandkids will be like
· Which countries I will still get to visit
· How many books I will write or sell
· The direction of the world economy
· Which technology has yet to be invented that will simplify or complicate my life
· The results of actions I’m considering during this season of life
· Potential natural disasters
· The full extent of divine consciousness
