Why are you so anxious? Helen read.
If his memory served him, then she pressed the thumb into the cushion of skin between the eyes. Jesus asked his disciples. Why are you so anxious?
She smoothed the creases from his brow with her thumb. Do not be anxious about anything. It will not add a day to your life.
He told her he had just seen his mother at the beach. That was nice, she replied. Did seeing his mother make him anxious?
In only he could have told her then! Helen, a man is anxious because he has too much time and not enough to think about. A man is anxious because he has lost too much time and has ended up thinking about all he should have thought about when he had the time.
(From Samantha Harvey’s The Wilderness Pg 222)
