You dash about, struggle — all because you want to swim in your own current. But alongside of you, unceasing and near to everyone, there flows the divine and infinite current of love, in one and the same course. When you are thoroughly exhausted in your attempts to do something for yourself, to save yourself, to secure yourself, then drop all your own course, throw yourself into that current; and it will carry you, and you will feel that there are no barriers, that you are at peace forever and free and blessed.
— Leo Tolstoy
Lloyd, where is this quote from? Tolstoy’s short stories are some of my favorites.
Can’t remember where I found it, I’m afraid. The short stories are awesome.
