"To wait open-endedly is an enormously radical attitude toward life.
So is to trust that something will happen to us that is far beyond our
imaginings.
So, too, is giving up control over our future and letting
God define our life, trusting that
God molds us according to God's love and not according to our fear.
The spiritual life is a life in
which we wait, actively present to the moment, trusting that new
things will happen to us, new things that are far beyond our own
imagination, fantasy, or prediction.
That, indeed, is a very radical
stance toward life
in a world preoccupied with control."
~Henri J. M.Nouwen
