the unknowing


 "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well..." 


But do we believe this?


We do not understand the journey, nor is it ours to understand. The curves, the twists, the evolutions. It is ours to travel, ours in which to live, but not ours to understand. How easy to lose ourselves and our path in the trying to understand... 


There are reasons and answers well beyond us, that will come in time and eternity. 


Let not the answers nor the reasons why distract from the journey ahead, or prevent the discovery of some subtle joy or beauty. 


Slow down. See the faces around you. Feel their stories, lend them your heart's ear. 


Sense the shared mystery of journey, the sacredness of not knowing. 


Comprehend your smallness as you sit atop a mesa in the darkness of a new moon among a billion glittering stars. 


Revel in your significance as the Beloved of the Divine. 


"Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything..."
