the not so big life

is a book I am currently reading--excellent stuff.  This quote resonated with me tonight as I enjoyed the moonrise on the homeward ferry ride:


"Our seeking obscures and impedes the flow."

    Gorgeous photo - hope you had a relaxing day. On the insightful quote, I would say yes and no - yes if one obsesses on something/someone to the exclusion of something/someone better out there - no doubt the author was highlighting being in the moment and letting life happen - not that I would presume his/her intentions - just chatting.

    So ... that whole, "seek and you shall find" thing is out the window, then? Hmm.

    So, in a small life, one should not seek?
    I do so have to think about what these mental rabbit trails mean. This one kind of defeats me. Do tell!

    But ... would having to think about the meaning be the same thing as seeking the meaning? In which case, well, that would be impeding the flow.
