Today I did lots of connecting and interacting, in a variety of settings. A wonderful day. I am reminded of what I learned in early recovery, that “nothing matters very much and very few things matter at all”. Most material things in the created order fall in the second category, they don’t matter at all, in the long view. Love and relationships are the only things that matter and they matter a lot. However, considering eternity and the universal, any one specific relationship is not critical. I use “Would I care about this if I were on my deathbed” as my measure of importance.
