"Refusal to rest content"- I just love that. Its not a refusal of contentment. Rather, it is a decided reluctance to rest in contentment. A decision to cultivate a spirit of thanksgiving while also adamantly striving for betterment of self and community.
One of the phrases I took from my study abroad debrief was "live in the tension." Life is less one way or another, and more truly the relationship between extremes, the juxtaposition of seemingly contradictory perspectives. This is one of those relationships: attempting contentment while also refusing to rest. Live in the tension. Try to anyway.
I so appreciate your blog, Kim. I get so much out of it, and every time I walk away feeling so encouraged. Thank you for writing, for cultivating, for sharing. xx
