"To wait open-endedly is an enormously radical attitude toward life.
So is to trust that something will happen to us that is far beyond our
imaginings. So, too, is giving up control over our future and letting
God define our life, trusting that God molds us according to God's love
and not according to our fear. The spiritual life is a life in which we
wait, actively present to the moment, trusting that new things will
happen to us, new things that are far beyond our own imagination,
fantasy, or prediction. That, indeed, is a very radical stance toward
life in a world preoccupied with control."
