People wanted to me to describe more about what I call "the container," and then describe what the second half of life feels like.

You cannot grow in the integrative dance of action and contemplation without a strong tolerance for ambiguity, an ability to allow, forgive, and contain a certain degree of anxiety, and a willingness to not know-and not even need to know. This ever widens and deepens your perspective. This is how you allow and encounter Mystery and move into the contemplative zone.

You do need some successes as a young person. They don't inflate the ego necessarily, they just give you identity and ego structure. But, don't construct your life around creating those. Or you will become narcissistic and ego-centric. That won't get you anywhere.

Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.

Life is not a matter of creating a special name for ourselves, but of uncovering the name we have always had.
