First quote to think about:
"A man's reach should exceed his grasp..."
-Robert Browning
So far today I've attended my first church service at EMU, eaten Ethiopian food, said good-by to my parents, played a game of giant dutch blitz, a game of uno (I won!), visited my transition teacher's house, felt overwhelmed by the amount of people surrounding me, and crashed back in my dorm. There are still ... 3 hours of planned activites left? Yikes.
And so it begins - first assignment, first (admittedly small) crisis, first questions...first moment of deep thinking.
A man's reach should exceed his grasp. Well. I guess I'm doing what I ought to be, then.
Doesn't that go without saying? I mean, of course you can reach things physically and touch them with your fingers but not be able to grasp them. It can't really be the other way around.
ReplyDeleteI think there are a lot of things I can touch and not grab hold of.
yeah...
ReplyDeletei just felt a bit like i am out of my depth here; it felt good to read that quote and think - "yes, this is how it should be. i should reach beyond what i am capable of at this moment..."
