Nearsighted



I suffer from myopia of the medical and spiritual varieties. I'm "nearsighted," so if it's right in front of my nose, I can see it. But, if it's beyond arm's length, it's a blur.

I wish I could see farther out into the future, then I wouldn't have to strain my weak faith. There would be no leaping into the unknown. All that anxious energy I devote to worrying over making this choice or that one, I could spend that energy on other things. Like planning for retirement or cleaning out my car trunk.
