TOO MANY MEs


Sometimes I feel like there are many parts of me -- each part seeking its own knowledge, or creativity, or task, or desire, or mission, or ministry.  One not necessarily coordinated with any other one.  All trying to do something, be something.  All wanting to be part of the whole and not quite knowing how to do it.  In close proximity one to another, the parts are not isolated.  There are overlaps, underneaths, next tos, and upons; some are in touch with many other parts, some only a few.

All these different areas of my life are fun and challenging and keep me alert and seeking and absorbing all kinds of new 'stuff.'  Once in a while it gets to be too much, too many different directions to go and things to do.  Panic sets in.  That is when I have to decide which of the areas of interest upon which to concentrate -- right now.  Let the others recede in to the background for a bit.  Try not to be too fragmented.  Try to coordinate the many different areas into a kind of harmony. 

Life is fun -- even if complicated.
