Let us bumble along. To bumble is to trip, slow, turn around, sway a little, stop, start, pause, forget some things, remember others, lose that train of thought, day dream, say awkward things, make lots of mistakes. Relish life as a bumbler!…because then, life is wide open. Anything can be done, FLAWFULLY, and it is perfect.
More Aimless Wandering

In living the thoroughly aimless life, one might live more fully, and even accomplish more, than when trying to live purposefully and with a sense of yearning drive. In being aimless, all attachment to outcomes dissolves. All things become new, vibrant surprises to the one who is not in control: me. Life happens, and in the miraculous, ridiculous instant, living transpires with a quality of liquid effortlessness.

To wander aimlessly. Can this be one’s aim? To not know what to do or where to go, to not have any sense of an agenda, to be forever on the brink of self-discovery. God decides on the details, the surface life, and we are merely asked to continue showing up with a little faith and considering hearts. The rest takes care of itself. God is in control; we just make choices.

To borrow a term from Brother Lawrence, the “whole business” is about the presence of God, coming into it here and now, in this moment. This is Holy Spirit stuff…real Presence. Nothing else really matters. Eckhart Tolle points to it in the Now, it’s power, being in neither past nor future, allowing all obsessive thoughts to fall away. What joy is to be experienced in this.
