Life is a series of mysteries we must
each unravel at our own pace. Our
task is not to solve the mysteries but
to use them along our way. No one
can tell us what is good for us just
because it worked for them. If we
allow someone to give us our answers we
create conflict deep within.
Sometimes it gets confusing trying to
figure out what to do. If the
confusion is on the inside, the answer
is there, too! No human being has
all the answers, if they did they would
not be here. One of the greatest
mysteries we must unravel is our
purpose, because that makes us clear.
Let us take more time to listen to our
hearts, filtering through the offerings
that come in. Let us not be so
willing to say "I know" when we have no
idea where to begin. Let us know
deep down that the powers responsible
for creation, created and values us*
and use that knowledge along the way.
Let us approach the great mystery of the
meaning of life with a little bit less
to say.
