The culture offers many buoys: brightly colored shiny things, visible, and floating on the surface.

They’re attractive, easy to cling to, and they’re everywhere.

But to go deeper — to think deeply, to ruminate, to meditate — we have to intentionally let go.

Tethered to the buoys, we’ll remain at the surface.

Which is fine.

But there’s much more to life if we’re willing to seek it.
