We can only make one choice. Throughout our lives, we do only one thing – again and again, moment by moment, year by year. It is how we live our days, and it is how we shape our lives. The choice is this: what is the next right thing for us to do? Where, in this moment, shall we choose to place our time and attention? Do we stay or move, speak or keep silent, attend to this person, that task, move in this or that  direction?   …Our choices are small, quiet,  intimate things that flow from us as water from a mountain spring, simple,  endless, each thimble of water tumbling into the next, creating a small stream that somehow…inevitably,  finds its way down the mountain to the sea.
