It began in mystery,
and it will end in mystery,
but what a savage
and beautiful country
lies in between.
-Diane Ackerman

quote | pause to wonder

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein

mystery.

it the moment, we may never know why we make the choices we do, why we experience what we experience, why someone chooses to engage with us the way they do, or even why we feel a certain way.... and maybe we never will. 

but what i am learning is that regardless of ever understanding or knowing the answer to the "why's," the duly important process is to stay engaged and to stay true to one's Heart of hearts (kardía) in our journey. kardia will guide us to what's really important; there God dwells.

i believe that one day - likely not in this lifetime - we will come to know the why's. and when we finally arrive at that point where our unknowns become known....it won't even matter. so why do you think it matters so much now?
