Hello out there
In deciding what to leave in and what to leave out, sometimes people forget that there is a whole slew of things we just don’t know.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable still exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness.
Albert Einstein
I’m often amazed how I can feel rapture and at the same time envy – I was looking up the author of a book and when I read about that person’s success in writing, I had to admit I was envious. Trite, I know. And yet how is it that one person can be in awe with so much that she knows and so much that she does not know and at the same time be capable of something so petty, like the jealousy of someone else’s success.
It’s not as if I’m on the same path as anybody else, so why even compare or contrast?
And so onward in search of better behavior and opening up more to mystery and wonder.
