The Mystery Remains Unchanging
Life is a mystery. A mystery so
awesome that we insulate ourselves from its intensity.To numb our fear
of the unknown we desensitize ourselves to the miracle of living. We
perpetuate the nonchalant lie that we know who we are and what life is.
Yet behind this preposterous bluff the Mystery remains unchanging,
waiting for us to remember to wonder. It is waiting in a shaft of
sunlight, in the thought of death, in the intoxication of new love, in
the joy of childbirth or the shock of loss.
One minute we are
going about our business as if life were nothing special and the next we
are face to face with profound, unfathomable breathtaking Mystery. This
is both the origin and consummation of the spiritual quest.
-Timothy Freke,
This is really great. Very true.
