Thoughts from 9.15.05

I found this on my computer today. I thought it was pertinent.

9-15-05

Hannah's thoughts for the day:

How do you achieve that elusive balance between being doing nothing and not doing enough? Between being nice and supportive, yet challenging and honest? Between peace and conflict? Understanding and ignorance? Loyalty and Universality? Truth and the world? Human Life and Life in death? How do you balance it every day without falling apart, without achieving one and failing another? How do you pray enough, not worry, see people, make things happen, but not step on toes...

Tolstoy says that being a Christian is to strive for perfection...an asymptote for life. But how do you do it? Especially when you seem to constantly fail?
