Between These Two Shoals

I seem to react more than the norm to two things -the suffering that accompanies so much around us,and the sense of the infinite.Now, what if those two are connected?The infinite dimension of things that is their true depthprevents only a shallow surface glance of sufferingthat may be passed over as ordinary,and so needn't distract too muchfrom what entertains.In fact, both appear to have deepened at the same time of my life.Furthermore, it would be hard to keep an even keelbetween these two shoals without a regular practice,which reassures why,practice I do.
