For anyone with ears to hear there is but one question and one answer: Will we wait patiently for a single moment of relationship with what is eternal and real, where, with the touch of something timeless, all the moments of our life are forever changed? Otherwise we waste the few moments of our life chasing the pleasure of an imagined time to come that forever recedes from our grasp in the same instant that we reach for it.

Would you resent those moments when a door closes on some anticipated pleasure? No! You already knowt hat such "problems" are actually secret passageways waiting to reveal themselves if you'll watch for their eventual opening. Mountains crumble in the presence of the person who knows how to wait for a passage through them. Real power, real fearlessness, is knowing that there's only one reason life changes as it does: It is to reveal the secret Goodness underlying those same changes.
