How can both co-exist peacefully?
One is firmly centered in the joy of present moments while the other chases a future of the heart.
Perhaps serenity is a necessary prerequisite for a passionate pursuit; without grounding it loses its footing.
In a way, our serenity and present contentment enable and sustain any prolonged pursuit of the heart.
For what is the pursuit of happiness without any joy in the present moment? Happiness arises with the realization that the pursed destination may never be reached, and that’s just fine.
It is, thus, that in rejoicing in our present circumstances we create the necessary conditions for a prolonged exertion of the will.
