You must learn the difference between busy work and the work of the soul, between endless effort and the restful pace of a life lived with clarity, purpose, and resolve. It is not the busiest people who accomplish great or lasting things, but those whose efforts are grounded in a calm, clear-eyed understanding of the world.
You will have seen statues or paintings of many-armed goddesses. Some have four arms. Some six. Some eight. And some even a thousand. But I tell you that even the Mother of a Trillion Arms is perfectly still and centered within Herself. Her arms reach before Her and behind Her, above Her and below Her. Her wrists flex and Her fingers grasp, moving with unerring dexterity and grace.
And opposite each of these many arms is another arm that perfectly offsets its weight so that a motionless poise prevails within Her. She can dance on one foot without losing Her balance or laying so much as a single finger out of place. If you could see Her whole, She would look like a spinning planet. She resembles nothing so perfectly as a world.
A yet, even the astronauts in space see only one half of Her at a time—and that with little detail. The number of Her arms cannot be reckoned. For every particle of the visible world, however small, there are hands and fingers to guide it—to say nothing of what lies out of sight under the ground or in the sea.
So trust in that part of Her body that lies before you. Take the hand you are offered and let yourself be guided—and know that you are dancing with All That Is.
