On Life’s Mystery

Despite our attempts to feel safe or certain, and despite our reliance on knowing more and trying harder as a path to gain safety and certainty, life is a complete [and beautiful] mystery. Even if our pursuit of certainty is unconscious, we deny ourselves a window into the mystery life is. Comfortable or not, we’re part of a sea of humanity, living “together” in an ecosystem, on a “pale blue dot” of a planet, in an unremarkable galaxy, in an incomprehensibly vast universe. What if we could suspend our fears and judgments for long enough to become aware enough to see clearly enough that the image painted above about our life on this earth could touch our hearts, our souls, even our thinking minds? Just what if? Let’s go “big.” What if we chose to fall in love with life’s mystery?
