After trying too hard,
thinking excessively,
getting lost in the details,
seeing problems that aren't actually there,
making absurd leaps of logic,
schlepping too many boxes,
asking too many questions,
correcting everybody but himself,
loading his plate too full,
having eyes bigger than his stomach, his heart, his lungs, his hands, his feet, his head,
expecting far too much from the dust,
and spinning endlessly on a tilt-a-whirl,
he is born.
Matthew 7:13
