49. Facing a sea of infinity, it's easy
to despair, sure that you will
never reach dry land, never have
the sense of accomplishment of
saying, "I'm done." At the same
time, to be finished, done,
complete--this is a bit like being
dead. The silence and the
feeling that maybe that's all.
…the challenge is to level set, to
be comfortable with the
undone, with the cycle of never-
ending…Today, we're never
finished, and that's okay.
