When All Seems Lost

Posted: 17 Dec 2011 05:06 PM PST

Here is some home grown advice from an old (ice) hockey coach who when asked what to do when the game seems lost and you don't know what to do, he said "Keep your feet moving".

As we approach the new year and when the world seems so full of downward news perhaps remembering that while the game seems lost we can at least simply keep moving. And perhaps also to remember, and live out, deeper truths in our everyday lives.

It is this ostensible turning of life upside down which disturbs some of us, as good as so many of those around us. Conversely, it is what makes life so smashing for those who open their eyes. Yet, it is usually a ostensible turning of things. In truth, it is just a change in where you place a mind. Two short, universal lists: What is significant? A glass of water. A splinter of a moon in a sky. Loving someone; being desired by someone. The taste of things. The feel of things. The smell of things. The sound of things. What is insignificant?
