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.
Ugo Betti
That’s just it. In the race to know every single thing, we know less and less when it comes to the most important stuff. The mystery of it all is where the wonder resides.

So so true we touch this place more deeply when we still the mind.
