Accepting the Mystery of Life

Accepting the Mystery of Life

It occurred to me last week going through some challenges that there are just going to be some things that remain a mystery. We may never know answers to those things that which seem to defy explanation or understanding.

That’s not always easy because our human minds seem to demand to wrap itself around something. Anything.

I was reminded of that again today when I did my daily ritual, which is picking two of my SoulCollage(r) cards from my deck, which I’ve been creating since last November.

I had first picked up some leaves outside, came inside to my writing cottage and placed the leaves on a green plate with some dried hazelnuts and acorns. I then lit a candle, and picked two of my cards to see what wisdom they had for me today.

And wouldn’t you know it… the two cards that came up are are two that have remained a mystery to me for quite sometime. I still haven’t a clue what they mean. Perhaps I may never know.

But again, here it was, a lesson in trying to be comfortable in the mystery of it… just like those moments in life when you know you will likely never have an answer for something that is perplexing you.

It’s a call to find wisdom in just that… the mystery of the unexplained.

Speaking of SoulCollage(r), I just got done reading a book written by fellow facilitator, Anne Marie Bennett, Through the Eyes of SoulCollage(r).  It’s a collection of essays she written on reflections of life through the lens of SoulCollage(r).

You can read my review here on Amazon and I just have to say how much I loved this book. Even if you don’t create, or will ever create, SoulCollage(r) cards, I believe you will find something of value and inspiration in her essays.
