I had my "spiritual" life, and my "waking consciousness." This split was highly dissatisfactory. Anything is Possible by Angie Bailey What would you do if you knew for certain you would not fail? Recently, I spied my 6-year old son Ben gazing out the window, apparently entrenched in deep thoughts. He does this sometimes when he's considering something I've said. He indulges in more "considering" than any young man — possibly any adult — I know.
