To wait with openness and trust is an enormously radical attitude toward life. It is choosing to hope that something is happening for us that is far beyond our own imaginings….The spiritual life is a life in which we wait, actively present to the moment, trusting that new things will happen to us, new things that are far beyond our own imagination, fantasy, or prediction. That, indeed, is a very radical stance toward life in a world preoccupied with control.

I can imagine the calm if one adopts this attitude to life . Total trust.
Thank you Karl

Radical but interesting even for non-control freak like myself – to be actively present . . . while waiting for the spiritual calling. Thanks for sharing.
