We must let the questions in. We must allow them to invade our tidy thoughts and comforting categories. If we don\u2019t allow the questions to ruin our routine, then we destine ourselves to a different kind of ruin that is much worse.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m reading an excellent book by Jungian analyst James Hollis, Ph.D., titled \u201cFinding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up<\/strong>\u201c. Here\u2019s a good quote from the book:<\/p>\n

What questions are begging for your attention right now?<\/p>\n

Dare to entertain them!<\/p>\n

If you need someone to talk with about your journey, I am making myself available. Please email me<\/a> so we can make arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n
