Lorna, that's the question indeed: What are we to do with the not knowing? I'm sure those moments translate into creations in your craft room, from time to time. My not-knowing became today's blog post. Maybe we just have to embrace it and persevere, until we know, once again. (I think Candace has some good advice here, as well.)

Robin, I'm glad you were able to put a positive spin on this frustrating experience. Wonderful surprises can come from not knowing, and your approach goes along with my posts around New Year's Day about trying to be "less intentional." What a great story about how you met your husband, too!

Ryan, that's a really interesting snowball effect, from not knowing to boredom to idleness to sadness. I'll have to think on that, and see if there's a boredom piece in all of this for me. I completely agree with your "knowing is about dreaming" statement, though. To me, dreaming is about hope, and it all makes me think about the Bible verse that describes faith as "being sure of what you hope for." Very powerful. I want more of that in my life.

Candace, I would love to hear more about "grounding cord exercises." The way you describe being "dispersed inside" is spot on. I wonder if feeling that inner peace actually results in wanting less, in addition to knowing what it is we do want.
