My daughter Sami reminded me of this on Facebook today:
“It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.” Arnold Toynbee
It got me to thinking about Ham, and how he maintained his focus on finding the Lightbringer. Not on making a water bag or a walking staff or making fire, but on the larger, more ambitious goal of finding the Lightbringer.
And along the way, in service to that larger goal, he achieved many smaller goals and helped others to reach smaller goals.
