That all makes a lot of sense, and you’re right. The downside of being a thinker is being an over-thinker, and I do have a real tendency to get way ahead of myself. Makes it hard to be present, “in the moment” as they used to say in Acting school, which is a real killer.

I suppose what I’m waiting or hoping for is some sort of feeling that’s so strong or sudden or whatever that it sweeps me out of that, but it’s likely true that this isn’t how things work. Salvation is a nice romantic concept, but really life is a series of smaller moments, and hopefully they start adding up. That’s a good way of looking at things, I think. Thanks!
