Embracing the mystery

In our information age we drown in stories and facts but there is also a deep mystery to life and to the soul that only gets negated if we try to pin down ‘truth’ and most ‘truth’ is relative any way.

This reading from Tian Dayton’s book Daily Affirmations for Forgiving and Moving On, celebrates the mystery.

Today I accept that part of myself that will never be satisfied and I comfort and tame it. There is a place in me that knows it will never know. At times I can get depressed about that and feel there’s no real point to life. But I am beginning to feel that to accept and love this side of myself is what also gives life beauty and meaning. Perhaps meaning is not knowing and understanding, but an acceptance of the mystery, an embracing of the unknown. After all, it is the mystery that gives even the most ordinary circumstance an eternal sort of glow – a sense of depth, a feeling that there is more.

I accept that I will never fully understand

– I embrace the mystery

The soul is restless and furious;

it wants to tear itself apart

and cure itself of being human.

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.
