The Stuck Place
"Think of yourself in a concert hall listening to the strains of the sweetest music when you suddenly remember that you forgot to lock your car. You are anxious about the car, you cannot walk out of the hall and you cannot enjoy the music. There you have a perfect image of life as it is lived by most human beings."
— Jesuit Priest, Anthony de Mello
It’s a lesson we all know by heart — our thinking is the greatest source of our stress and sorrow. And yet . . .
The only thing to do is to be where we are.
