As a black and white thinker, this morning I was pondering the thought of seeing the world through new eye . . . gray. What possibilities would be open that I have yet to see. A good friend gave me a precious gift, in a book. Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D. wrote a book called, "My Grandfather's Blessings". In it she states, "Most of us encounter a great deal more Mystery than we are willing to experience. Sometimes knowing life requires us to suspend disbelief, to recognize that all our hard-won knowledge may only be provisional and the world may be quite different than we believe it to be. This can be very stressful, even frightening. But if we are not willing to wonder, we may have to hang up the phone on life."
I wonder how much Mystery I have yet to discover due to my narrow vision. The possibilities may be frightful or beautiful. I enjoy pondering, wondering, question asking and self-exploration. All of these create a modge podge of anxiety and growth, creating the very essence of life. Oh the beauty in complexity continues. . .
