life

Namaste,

have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma,
a harmless enigma
that is made terrible by our own mad attempt
to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
-Umberto Eco

Hi, Michele,

I don't think I've left you comments before today, but yours is one of the first ones added to my bloglist and there it will stay. I like it because it's positive without being sugary. The other items on my list are oriented toward either angst or atheism, and I value them, but yours is agenda-free and quite refreshing.

The photo on today's post flashed me back to the Spirit of Life course I completed last year at my Unitarian Universalist church. UU's 7th principle is "respect for the interdependent web of existence, of which we are a part." During one session, we sat in a circle (there were about a dozen of us), and we passed a ball of yarn back and forth, across the circle, while continuing to hold onto a strand. Each time we passed the yarn, we made a statement about the person who had passed it to us and the person we were passing it to. It was a simple, yet relaxing and enlightening exercise. We soon felt our interconnectedness even more deeply.

Namaste to you!
