The future, the ever-unfolding and accelerating narrative of your life, is approaching.  Those who live in terms of the finite have life all planned out and won't stand for it transpiring in any other fashion than their crude blueprint.  They are setting themselves up for a painful encounter.  Nature is going to do with them what it wills.  They'll so desperately struggle in an attempt to keep from drowning that they won't ever realize they can float, if only they would remain calm and stop thrashing about.

The infinite-minded have a basic outline for life that they know has no chance of going according to plan.  They are relaxed, calm, allowing the waves to bob them up and down.  They realize nature's superiority in planning.  They trust it and are rewarded for their courage by being blessed with gifts from nature in the form of unpredictable and seemingly impossible events that allow one to transcend a future they once thought could not be any better than the uninformed outline in their mind.

"Happiness is a learned condition.  And since it is learned and self-generating it does not depend upon external circumstances for its perpetuation." -Tom Robbins
