Learning to Fall
Recording the Blessings of an Imperfect Life
by
Philip Simmons
At its deepest levels life is not a problem, but a mystery. The distinction is fundamental: problems are to be solved, true mysteries are not. At one time or another, each of us confronts an experience so powerful, bewildering, joyous, or terrifying that all our efforts to see it as a "problem" are futile. Each of us is brought to the cliff's edge. At such moments we can either back away in bitterness or confusion, or leap forward into mystery......
Where in your life have you experienced mystery?
