The Real Work

It may be that when we no longer know what to do

we have come to our real work,

and that when we no longer know which way to go

we have come to our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.

The impeded stream is the one that sings.

~Wendell Berry

But one thing I do:

Forgetting what is behind and straining

toward what is ahead,

I press on . . .

~St. Paul
