You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.
The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says.

I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.
No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.
God, I love that movie. I love the fact it has no answers. Lord save me from people with answers.
