A quote from Will & Spirit turned up on inward/outward last week – a quote I will treat you with next post. The quote was so intriguing it sent me on a search for my Will & Spirit book which was easy to find because of its distinct cover: dark blue with yellow block letters.
The seed for exploring the mystery ‘s origin may have been planted in my mind when I read Gerald G. May’s book, Will & Spirit, April, 1986. (Were you even alive then?) From the beginning of my counseling career, I was interested in psychology and spirituality and May confronted the intersection of these two by creating a contemplative psychology.
May says modern science recognizes that some element of mystery exists in all things, from the smallest subatomic particle to the very perimeters of the universe. He cites Einstein as saying:
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.”
Was this the seed that grew in me for all these years that led to this blog? It is a mystery indeed.
Thanks for sharing my excitement at how mystery works and leads to even more mystery. Do you like mysteries that you can’t solve? What seems mysterious to you?
Thanks for exploring the mystery – Nicky Mendenhall
The image from Portland, OR., received April, 2015. When I read it, it seemed like another mystery. A tree producing cones after 6 million years!
