I think I’ve been getting used to the idea of just letting things pass me by. I like the stream analogy because it does make it seem like anytime I reach in I can grab something fresh and wonderful, but it does still leave a little bit of anxiety that it will somehow run out someday.
The needles metaphor also has me wondering whether I should be looking for more hay! Needles can be quite dense and get overwhelming, but maybe getting through some hay will have a sense of movement without the pressure of everything I read having to be life changing.
