\nHow do we approach our lives when they don\u2019t go how we want? Or when we find ourselves judging the value of our lives by the outcomes of our actions and projects? When we find out we\u2019re not nearly as \u2018in charge\u2019 as we imagine, and that every choice is riddled with complexity, it\u2019s easy to tune out and seek the promise of easy answers or to demand of ourselves a level of control and power that\u2019s impossible for us humans. So how else might we live? Might we find a way to honour that our lives are not made of \u2018final destinations\u2019 but are a process of becoming, in which each choice and action has a chance to move the world somewhat but, more importantly, to shape who we are?

\n\n\nChoice\nThere isn\u2019t a right answer.
\nThere just isn\u2019t. The game show
\nwhere the bells ring and the points
\ngo up and the confetti falls
\nbecause you got the answer
\nis a lie. The preacher who would assure you
\nof how to attain salvation
\nis making it all up. The doctor
\nwho knows just how to fix
\nwhat ails you will be sure
\nof something else tomorrow.
\nEvery choice will
\nwound someone, heal someone,
\nbuild a wall and open a conversation.
\nThings will always happen
\nthat you can\u2019t foresee.
\nBut you have to choose.
\nIt\u2019s all we have\u2014that little rudder
\nthat we employ in the midst
\nof all the eddies and rapids,
\nthe current that pulls us
\ninexorably toward the sea.
\nThe fact that you are swept along
\nby the river is no excuse.
\nWatch where you are going.
\nLean in toward what you love.
\nWhen in doubt, tell the truth.
