I've found it difficult to juggle all this, but not impossible. I think the key for me personally has been to not let myself get too scattered. The more focused I am, the less overwhelming everything is. Seeing the "big picture" isn't so much having "grand vision" as it is being able to see each piece of the puzzle in focus--one piece at a time.
Sometimes we get caught up in the "whole", while the only thing necessary is to focus on the "part" that is before us currently. Right now, this moment, this screen, this word... bringing one thing into focus, in the end, is often far more beneficial than seeing the whole picture in a blur.

These are the exact same sentiments Luke and I have felt this week. That's exactly it. We've felt scattered lately, too. Living present and aware in each moment is a beautiful thing. I just read this quote and it struck a chord with me,
"I see the moon more clearly since my house burnt down."
Have a great week....
