How does one address a mystery? Reverently—let us go with a sense of awe, a feeling of approaching the powerful holy whose lightning slashes the sky, whose persistence splits concrete with green sprouts, whose miracles are present in every place and moment. -Excerpted from “How Does One Address a Mystery,” by Gordon B. McKeeman
How do you address a mystery?
Like the cosmic dust following after a great Perseid meteor, we are the living remnants of time and all that has come to pass in its wake—briefly shining lights on the way to eternity. We are only visible to the naked eye for an instant. Take this moment to shine like the stardust you are. May the light of our time on earth shine to bless the world and each other. Shine. Shine. Shine. -Mary Edes
How can you shine today?
Realizing that you are a tiny speck in a universe with no end strikes our sense of wonder and awe. The perspective that follows can make you feel holy.
What gives you a perspective that feels holy?
Our capacity to adapt to change is awe-inspiring. We are faced with seemingly impossible odds, and we find a way to overcome them over and over again. Stronger than ever before. -JeKaren Olaoya (CLF)
What is a time you’ve faced the need to adapt to changing circumstances?
The moment you acknowledge your survival of something you once thought beyond your ability is one of the purest forms of Awe in the human condition. -Rev. Dr. Erien Babcock (CLF)
Think about a time when you survived something you thought impossible.
