I haven't posted in a while because I felt like I was dealing with issues that I didn’t have answers to, and as a result I didn’t have anything to share. If I didn’t have solutions, then why would I post?
I now realize that this isn’t about the answers. Life is about the questions and how we relate to things that we don’t know what to think about. I’ve realized that I have more questions that I could possibly find answers to, and to hold up my life every time a big question came around that sent my thoughts into a tailspin would be completely absurd. As much as I would love to know the solutions to everything I may ever encounter, I now understand that such a request is lucrative. Hence, I acknowledge my passion for questions.
I love questions. I like answers, but I love good, insightful, stride-stopping questions that intercede in the progression of life.
Now, I just have to be comfortable with the knowledge that I am ignorant to matters of such enormity as religion and ethics. Whereas I’d love to step in and say that I’ve got it all figured out, I clearly don’t, and the humor of my persistent belief in my abilities still catches me.
I want to know the truth about the presence of God, but as I recently identified, the place for me to start is to settle for knowing that which I believe, and that which I can take by faith. Once I know where I stand, I can proceed with grappling and contemplating where my beliefs will take me.
So, at least for now, my life is about questions. Not answers, and I don’t need to hear any so-called “truths”, but I live with the questions, and let wonder fill my mind as I consider this world we inhabit.
And as one last thought for you to put in your blender and take for a spin: What holds value, and why?
