The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
Had a old pair of slippers. 4 years old. Bought a new pair a few months back. Thought it to be a good replacement for the old pair. Didn't like it so switched back to using the old pair until last night, the strap snapped and it tore. Now I am forced to use the new pair with the old pair cast aside. I have no choice but to embrace the new.
Concidentally, last night my Mac Mini died as well. Sad but its true. Old things have a life span. Old ideas too.
If we hold on to old ideas too long, it'll do what it has to do, go. And when it happens, will our passion gets pull down to death with it?
Get used to letting go so we can keep both the contribution of the old while embracing the new. It's wise to be open to new ideas, strategies and methodologies as we grow. Its uneasy, I know.
But don't worry, its fine. Just never ever let go of the One who knows how to make all things new.
