Something That Leads, and Nothing Lacking

📝Reflection

This ancient song has survived three thousand years not for its theology but for "the calm of one who is led." Everyone has their own shepherd. Some place a god there, some a beloved person, some a principle they set for themselves. "Lacking nothing" does not mean having everything. It means that when you trust what leads you, you stop counting what you lack. I always forgot what I had, busy counting what I missed. When trust arrived, the counting finally fell silent.
