Today I find myself conflicted, on the one hand I really like the person I have become and on the other hand I wish I was more “normal”, able and inclined to perform the average activities of a husband and person on this planet. Long ago I asked to see things the way God does and I keep pushing myself to be more. I now see things through the eyes of love and eternity. I do things that others think impossible and have become the exception I have mentioned before, behaving outside the norm. Being the exception also means leaving average behind. I cannot do both and I have made my choice. "Only a few achieve the colossal task of holding together, without being split asunder, the clarity of their vision alongside an ability to take their place in a materialistic world." (Irene Claremont deCastillejo)
